We just love this beautiful video on child sponsorship, filmed by the talented Kylie Turley. Watch now to see how making a commitment of $35/month will change a child’s life in every way.

Then, find a child to sponsor here.

One of our most unique projects is building new cookstoves in Guatemala. It makes an incredible difference: kids go to school instead of spending the day gathering wood, homes are smoke-free, and families can enjoy clean, healthy food. Want to build one of these cookstoves? We’re sending a team of volunteers to Guatemala for a week this summer. Trips departing from LA and Washington, D.C. SIGN UP & TRAVEL WITH US!

We had a great time at our staff seminar last week! There were presentations, discussions, and group brainstorming on how our non-profit could make an even bigger impact in the world. On Thursday, we met at the Fuller Guest Center in Pasadena, CA for a conference, enjoyed delicious tacos for lunch at Norma’s Tacos, and then topped the week off with a scavenger hunt on Friday. Some of the challenges included taking a reflection picture, walking a stranger’s dog, and piling into a small space. It was a great team-building day and a wonderful end to our staff seminar week!
