In 2010 we will be taking teams to our project in Mexico, where we build homes for the poor in the slums of Tijuana on the Baja Peninsula. We also visit and help local orphanages and schools, bringing aid, joy and hope to those trapped in poverty.
We'll also go back with TEAR FUND to Watoto Children's Village in Uganda to build classrooms and homes and to help at the Babies Home. Child orphans of war and HIV come to Watoto and bcome part of new families recieving an education and vital healthcarehere. There is also the opportunity to visit local Tear Fund projects.  | |
