EMERGENCY FOOD RELIEF CAMPAIGN 2020-2021

Our mission work in El Salvador and Peru is needed today more than ever as many within the communities we partner with are facing severe food insecurity. Both countries are facing strict governmental policies that prohibit its people from working outside of the home. Working remotely is not an option for many of these communities as they rely heavily on working in the education, transportation, food market and street vendor professions. In addition to the pandemics fear of infection it is the threat of starvation which is feared will result in high death rates.


The funds raised in this campaign is bieng sent to provide additional food and shelter relief packages to families. 

All donations are personally delivered by our partners to each family to ensure they are received.


Food packages provided to families in the past month included:

Rice

Sugar

Oatmeal

Corn meal

Vegetable oil

Flour

potatoes

Milk

Yogurt

St. Oscar Romero & Candelaria Church Progress

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

LAS MINAS CANDELARIA ST. OSCAR ROMERO CATHOLIC CHURCH  CAMPAIGN


COMPLETED 11.14.2020

 LOCATION: CHALATENANGO, EL SALVADOR

Our latest  project was the completion of building the new Las Minas Candelaria Oscar Romero Catholic Church in a rural mountainous village of Chalatenango, El Salvador located in Central America.

The community built the original Catholic church by hand made of mud and clay. This original structure became unsafe for parishioners to worship and was demolished. The parish began building a new more sustainable church in 2018 until funds ran out resulting in the discontinuation of the project. In 2019 we partnered with the parish and completed the temple in the height of the Covid 19 pandemic.

Management of the construction for the project was all done virtually from the US as the pandemic prevented us from traveling.

The original vision was  initially to complete the church. We delivered the community a church building with a custom made alter, hand painted mural, 3 new bathrooms/shower, a rectory, an outdoors covered communal space, music ministry instrumentation and audio equipment, bibles, a rose garden and a fruit orchard of mango, lemon and tamarind trees. 

The parish was completed and dedicated on November 14, 2020. To view the ceremony: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggWvJt3NQ9M

The history of these parishioners is one filled with adaptability and unwavering faith. Many of the parishioners served as volunteers in the construction of the new temple.   The parishioners were originally displaced from neighboring villages because of the building of a hydroelectric power plant called the Cerrón Grande Hydroelectric Dam. It is estimated that 13,000 people were displaced; many rebuilt their communities in neighboring mountainsides. During the civil war of El Salvador (1980-1992) Catholics were persecuted heavily. The patron saint of social justice, St. Oscar Romero, served as a testament to the gravity of this persecution. Romero was murdered while celebrating mass in 1980. Churches became barracks during the war resulting in them being bombed and burned over the period of the 12 year war.

LA MISSION DE DE JESUS SCHOOL CAMPAIGN 

LOCATION: HUANCAYO, PERU

15 years ago, Maria Anaya began selling crafts locally to help build a school in Huancayo, Peru. Receiving a catholic education was not an option for most people in Huancayo, and after years of hard work the school was opened. 65% of people living in Huancayo are unemployed, and child labor is also very high in the area. Local priests saw this need and took the opportunity to shape young minds in a moral environment, and provide a Catholic foundation. 


The school that was built provides a kindergarten through 12th grade education and provides students with classes in Math, communication, English, Dance, and more. Students are still required to pay tuition as well as pay for there uniforms, which is not affordable for many families in the area.


Money provided through this Maria's Mission Los Niños is used to provide shoes, uniforms, and school supplies for students so that they can continue to receive this faith-based education.

COMPLETED PROJECTS

Purchased chickens and a cow for the family that gave birth to triplets in a remote part of El Salvador.
Both parents were unable to work or provide for the family. The cow was able to provide milk to nourish the mother, the triplets, and later to sell milk in the community to provide financial sustainability for the family.
