Outreach 4

Another outreach has come and gone. With this outreach we marked the middle of our summer here and are now on the countdown to our fall vacation! This past group was made up entirely of high school students, full of energy and ready to serve. This team brought 4 students to special ed and 4 to physical therapy. They served in the classrooms, played at recess, helped clean the yard, and helped with out "spa" day.

Unfortunately at various moments, one or more of the students were not feeling well and we do not have any photos of these 2 groups at the school, but thanks again to Bakersfield Christian High School and the youth from The Chapel in Canton, OH.

Enjoy the photos of "spa" day

Outreach 3

We are almost halfway through our summer here. Its incredible how fast time flies. This was a very busy outreach for us. From "field day" to clean up day, we kept this last team busy. Thank you so much girls for all your hard work. This last outreach was made up of teams from Sonoma State University, San Fransisco University, and James Madison University. Enjoy all the photos!

Outreach 2

Time is flying by at Centro Especial Genesis this summer. We have just finished with our second team of the summer and things are going well. Our Physical Therapy site received a shippment of donations from Cascade DAFO, a company that manufacturs foot splints for special needs children. They have been such a huge blessing. Please take a couple of moments to view the videos in this post. Our last group came to us from Boston University and Grove City College. 4 you ladies made special ed their home for 2 weeks and 4 more were at physical therapy. Thanks ladies for all your help!!!! You made a HUGE difference in the lives of our students.
