For those of you who haven't heard....we're now Impact Bolivia at International Teams of Canada. That just means that we've become a site that IT CAN is focusing on. That, along with the establishment of an Advisory Committee here in Canada, are a couple of the cool things that have happened over this past year.
Here's a link to our page at International Team's web page....
I'm a Canadian farm boy working with a group of Bolivian ex-street kids. I've been here eight years and living in this house with them for almost six. When I first arrived here, I worked at a home for guys coming off the streets. After being there for a couple of years, I saw the need for some sort of home where the guys could live as they continued their studies after high school. I openned this home and surprisingly (to me anyhow) became dad to a number of young guys.
The goal is to help them transition to life on their own while at the same time helping them to gain a university education.
If you want more information on what that looks like, feel free to contact us.
I hope this blog challenges you, entertains you and gives you a little bit more of an idea of what's happening in this corner of South America.
