A Happy Sight: Children at Play in El Pedregal

A new Vineyard article features a set of photographs recently received from El Pedregal that shows children playing happily on the school playground that our mission team built in June 2014. The article is available below at this link: Vineyard DR Update.

 

Our mission team will be represented at Christ Church's Ministries Fair on Sunday, September 28th, with lots of information about our work over the past years and some very preliminary information about the 2015 trip.
