From the Ninos Con Valor Newsletter!


Darla Capetillo, one member of the recent go-team to Bolivia, sent me this fun picture essay about our team's time with Ninos Con Valor.  So cool!  Now, if I could figure out how to put a tilde over my "n." 

First Presbyterian Church of Bellevue Vision Team

A small vision team from First Presbyterian Church of Bellevue, Washington arrived the day of our anniversary celebration! The team came down to get to know the different programs and ministries of Niños con Valor, in addition to building partnerships and possibly investing in the foundation.
The kids really enjoyed the time spent with the visitors, and appreciated the fun activities. The team took time to beautify the garden and make comfortable cushions with the kids of Pedacito de Cielo, and paint the girls' study room and help the girls plant seeds and flowers at Corazón del Pastor. We thank the team for all their hard work and look forward to a future visit and building a lasting partnership!
