A Tiny School Reaching Out

One of our work projects while in Argentina involved building necessities for a small school in one of the poorest areas of B.A. This is just one picture from the neighborhood, where even the roads are not paved.

The school is for kids who are handicapped and desperately in need of love. While primarily cultural, those who are physically and mentally disabled are often shunned by the government as they are incapable of voting and considered a nuisance. As a result, we teamed up with another youth group from B.A. to build tables and create puzzles from scraps of wood. We would paint pictures on the pieces and then, using a saw, cut them into puzzles for the kids. In addition, we sanded and painted about 30 chairs which were in dire need of repair: Rust was rotting the legs and the backs were chipped.


We were supposed to work at the school itself, but when we arrived the electrical box had been vandalized and we noticed a woman shoving candles used for witchcraft into the drain pipe. Once again, we were reminded that battles are not against flesh and blood, but against demons, principalities and powers. However, God provided a gym close by where we set up shop and got done everything we needed to!
