2014 Project Mañana Christmas Party | ||||||
VIDEO: Project Mañana Christmas Party (2014) The party started off with a clown, yes a clown, that played games, danced, and sang songs with the children. A clown might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think "Christmas Party", but here in the Dominican Republic we do things a little different. Bombillin the Clown was very entertaining and raised the roof on our Nutrition Center for over an hour. Next the children received a special meal followed by an apple, which is a huge Christmas-time treat in the Dominican Republic. And to conclude the party, each child received a gift that had been bought and shipped to the Dominican Republic by a few extremely generous supporters. For many, this is the only Christmas gift they will receive this year. While the clown, the meal, the treats, and the presents were all great, this party was so much more than that. For several hours on this day, these children were THE focus. The same children that on any other day are left to feed, clothe, and entertain themselves while their parents go out to try to earn enough money to feed their family. The same children that are exposed to things on a daily basis that no child should see or live. This day, if only for a few hours, they were just children having fun without a care in the world. To see a glimpse of the day check out the video on YouTube. |

Project Mañana Hosts Medical Clinic For 300 People | ||||||
People lined up to be seen at the medical clinic During this all-day event, more than 300 people came through the doors of the Nutrition Center for check-ups, flu shots, vaccines, breathing treatments, counseling, and more. The crowd of people needing care was a bit overwhelming, but by the grace of God everyone that showed up was seen by the doctors. There are so many needs in the community and it was great to see many of the physical needs met on this day. This was our first clinic with friends from MELIVEA & ADVETNOR, but it will not be our last. Their professionalism and organized way of operating is top notch. They also brought toys for the children; which helped to get rid of those tears caused by their vaccine shots. 1.

Project Mañana Hosts First Annual Women's Conference | ||||||
30 Dominicans & 8 Americans attended the conference A team of eight women from the United States partnered with our Dominican staff to teach the ladies how to be a Godly woman, wife, and mother. Leading up to the conference, ladies in both countries spent time studying Captivated by Stasi Elderidge and then came together to discuss key points in greater detail. They laughed together, cried together and built amazing bonds that will last a lifetime. The conference ended with a celebration of the ladies and their husbands that included hors d'oeuvres and an opportunity for everyone to share what they learned. It was an amazing experience to see ladies from different countries, different cultures, different languages, and different lives come together and realize they share the same joys and struggles of being a woman. Please pray for the women of Villa González and the United States that they will remember and put into practice everything they learned together. Also pray for Project Mañana's Women's Ministry as it continues to invest in the local women. |
