Please review the following information and share it with your friends, church, small group, Sunday school class, or whoever you think would be interested.

Special Education Paraguayan students who have learning disabilities often drop out of school due to few resources available to them.  Additionally, kindergartners start at a disadvantage since most Paraguayan families haven’t learned about early educational stimulation.  Margarita provides both of these services to students of low-income families for a very small, nominal fee.  However, diagnostic tools and didactic games are scarce and expensive.  Goal:  $300 (1 year of support for all of Margarita’s students)

New Horizon School Basketball Program The New Horizon School’s mission is to provide an integral education for a new generation of Paraguayan leaders.  Most of the school’s students come from low income families.  There has been a recent surge in excitement among students to form boys’ and girls’ basketball teams; yet, there are few funds and materials to support this new program.  *Material donations are also accepted. Cost:  $25 per player (covers a ball, jersey and extra expenses)

 

Christmas 2014 in the U.S. Ana, Margarita and Tim hope to spend Christmas 2014 in the U.S. They are saving up monthly for this trip; though, visa fees and airline fares are very expensive. Cost: $1 for every 2 miles of travel (4,500 miles in total)

 

 

Prison Ministry The Tacumbu Penitentiary was built for a capacity of 800 men, but now houses over 3,600.  Christmas donations in 2012 enabled Tim to provide photocopies of discipleship materials for 100’s of inmates.  Graduates are rewarded with certificates and become teachers of the discipleship.   After they leave the prison, their certificate can help them enter a ministry position. Cost:  $15 per month
