WOV JRS PROJECTS

 

The Las Palmas, Tijuana Project

The WOV JRS have been raising funds to build a community center in the Las Palmas area of Tijuana, Mexico. This community center has helped enriched the lives of the locals by providing an area where the local population can learn new trades, come together for Bible study, for children to learn and play...and much more. This facility offers many of the necessities that few have in the surrounding area. A group of WOV Juniors traveled to the site in 2007 and in June of this year. WOV JRS are currently sponsoring 23 children in Tijuana.

 

WOV JRS have raised money in varies ways to support this cause. We have a taco night fundraiser every year as well as involving our children in the fundraising process with cookie sales, lemonade stands, trick or treat bags during Halloween and the like. Additionally, with funds raised WOV JRS have purchased backpacks and school supplies to give to the children in this community.

The Shalimar Learning Center in Costa Mesa

This is an opportunity to help if you or your family have a desire to teach these students. Please contact the center if you are interested and have any special skills, talents or trade that would nurture these junior high and high school kids toward their desire for success and to make it to college. This is a wonderful way to get your family involved in helping underprivileged children right near home.

Col.1:9-10 - So ever since we first heard about you we kept on praying and asking God to help you understand what He wants for you (filled with the knowledge of His will) asking Him to make you wise about spiritual things and asking that the way you live will always please the Lord and honor Him, so that you will always be doing good, kind things for others, while all the time you are learning (growing in the knowledge) to know God better and better.
