In August 2014 we built our community refuge center, at the city dump. There are about 80 children and more than 42 babies and their parents that all live in the proximity of the city dump. Their daily life consists of going through the garbage to find something of value in order to make a living. we bring food to them once a week and this building provides shade and shelter as well as much needed bathrooms and electricity to a community that does not have any. We also bring a doctor once a month and sponsor several children so they can go to school.
