With
the help of many friends and brothers in Christ, Breaking Cycles has been able
to help the Project: Centro de Ayuda Integral para la Niñez “Creciendo Juntos”,
in Sumpango from Busca a Dios Church. This
project is a school with 25 kids now, of ages between 3 and 14, their economic
situation is very bad, and that is the main reason why parents don’t send them
to a normal school. This project
provides them with the opportunity to have a different future, to fulfill their
dreams and to have higher goals in life. They learn to read and write, math and
science, moral orientation, teachings on hygiene and good habits, care for
their teeth like brushing and application of Fluor, medical checkups, they have
been treated for stomach worms and head lice, some needed recreation, a daily
healthy snack to eat, and other benefits like donations of used clothes, shoes,
toys, etc. along with pastoral loving care.
If
you would like to get involved, go ahead and contact us. We have some great projects coming up and we
want you to be part of it!
