Mike and I arrived early this morning (5:15am local time) and have spent the day at ABECAR camp where the Tarratacas live and work. We are preparing for the first of our sessions with church leaders tonight.
This afternoon we had the chance to learn a little more about the work at the camp and the ministry with street kids. School is only in session for 4 hours a day, so many kids have nothing to do for the afternoon, making them a target for violence and abuse. Julie has been organizing an after school program that gives them both a positive environment and the opportunity to learn more about Jesus. This video is a clip from part of the program we got to see. They run the program on a $4000/month budget, which includes busing kids to the camp, staff to lead the three hour program, and oftentimes meals for kids that won't get one at home.
