Hope 4 Kid's Visit



The Hope 4 Kids team was here for 10 days. They worked very hard and were in a different Barrio every day. They spent most of their days building cook stoves for some of the families who cook their food inside their makeshift houses by piling up charcoal on the floor and put a makeshift grate over the top. The smoke fills the house and a lot of them have serious breathing problems. These new stoves have a chimney that will vent the smoke out the top of the roof. They also spent some time playing with the kids and building relationships with the adults. They helped feed breakfast to over 100 kids in one of the barrios, and lunch to about another 100 kids in another barrio.
