Join us on this Service Trip to Lima, Peru!
This trip offers a unique service experience in Lima, Peru. Our hope is that each team member learns the eternal joy of service through their time serving with Here For Kids International. Below are important details about this upcoming trip.
PARTNER SUPPORT
This partnership supports Kids Alive International Peru as we provide an opportunity for them to share about their ministry and the impact they have in their community, a time for the kids to interact with our team members, and a way for us to provide financial and physical help in support of their year-round ministry.
TEAM CAPTAINS
The team Captains for this trip will be Sandra Lineros and Oscar Rios. Here is a message from them:
Hi! Hola! We are Oscar and Sandra. We have been so fortunate to have done community service with HFK a couple of times in the Bay Area already. Cleaning up parks and beautifying a school. We love to see the before and after, as well as the enthusiasm of the community working together for a common purpose. What is more powerful and inspiring than seeing a student with her father sanding and painting a bench of her own school? Or a family planting the garden of their kids school? This has inspired us to continue our experience with HFK. And now we want to take a next step and go international. Join us! This is going to be a wonderful experience!
Hola! Somos Oscar y Sandra. Hemos sido afortunados de ya haber hecho servicio comunitario con HFK en el Area de la Bahía. Hemos limpiado parques y embellecido una escuela. Nos encanta ver el antes y el después, así como ver el entusiasmo de la comunidad trabajando por una misma causa. Que es más poderoso e inspirador que ver a una niña con su padre puliendo y pintando una banca de su escuela? O una familia unida plantado el jardín de la escuela de sus hijos? Esto nos ha inspirado a continuar nuestra experiencia con HFK, ahora a nivel internacional. Vengan con nosotros! Va a ser una experiencia inolvidable!
