“Christmas Came Early (Again)”

December 2018 Trip to the Home for Children, Nogales Sonora, MX

On December 9, 38 people from Valley Presbyterian Church (VPC) in Green Valley, AZ, New Life Church of God, in Tucson and local supporters visited the Home for Children. 15 people were first time visitors and 20 came from outside VPC. Director Elias gave an overview; then the children performed dance routines followed by lots of great and loving hugs. Next, Earl & Carol Yarborough handed out birthday gifts to eight children. Reed Olson talked about the challenges of education the children face after high school and presented RISE Scholastic Achievements, Inc. A toured the facility followed which to our surprise has been greatly improved since our last visit. After lunch and birthday cake with the kids, we witness a classic Christmas morning chaos as the children tore opened up their gifts given by their newly “Adopted Grandparents.” What a wonderful early Christmas for these deserving children! THANK YOU ALL for your generous donations and support to help make this trip very special.
