Donate to a Special Project
Where do special projects come from? Being involved at Pan de Vida and Dulce Refugio for a number of years we had a close look at the challenges, struggles, needs and goals they face on an everyday basis.
Pan de Vida
We thank God for always providing for our needs. A little while ago, a local business that is Swedish owned, Sika,
recently made a generous donation to cover the expense of several of the large
projects, including the auditorium roof, at Pan de Vida. The roof is a project that will have to be contracted out due
to the material and structure of it. Once that is in place, the process of the
interior will proceed. We thank God for his provision.
Funds received!! God is good.
Pan de Vida auditorium. Doesn't it look great.
Praise the Lord another project completed at Pan de Vida. The 2 storey addition to the school is completed
Dulce Refugio
Things have been progressing with the building of the girls dorm. The first floor is poured and the bricks for the second floor are being laid. We are hoping to pour half of the roof for this floor in the end of November. However there is a lack of finances. Here is a list of construction material needed to finish the girl's dorm.

We expect to receive about $50,000 CAD from the teams next year. However this will fall short of the actual funds needed for the construction project, about $130,000 CAD. We pray that the girl’s dorm and kitchen will be ready for the end of 2008 but this goal will not be reached without your financial help. We know that the Lord has a plan and he will fulfill it in his time. We put our trust in him to provide.
