One of the things that impresses Julie and I so much is the heart of the young people in our student program. The girls of Casa Esther sell iced juices (Helados) out of their house in order to accumulate funds for an outreach. They also will put on a movie night, selling tickets to friends form the church, to save money. Once they have enough, they will buy some staple items, place them in a basket, and wrap it up as a gift for a needy family.

What really makes this special is that all of our students come from families with economic conditions nearly the same as those they are giving to. They understand the blessings encompassed in the small gift.
See the short video at the top of this story. In Spanish, the ladies give thanks to our girls.

The house the first family lives in. The smaller basket on the bench was given to another young couple in the community
The giving doesnt stop with the girls. Our boys home, Casa Juan Marcos, also reaches out to the poor.
Osmany represents the boys home in giving an elderly lady the basket assembled by the Casa Juan Marcos boys.
