---------------------------

Our 2012 missions trip will send adults and high school students to help with construction projects on the Bolivian Hope Center in Cochabamba, Bolivia.

In Cochabamba there are three children under the age of six that are abandoned daily.

The prisons are full of children who are living with their inmate parent because their parent committed a crime or has been suspected of a crime and there is no other place for the child/children to live. Many times these children have to sleep on the hard, cold concrete floors because there is no bed for them. Many times, these same children go hungry because their parent who is in prison has no money to purchase food for them to eat. Many do not even have warm clothes or blankets for the winter nights in the Andean Mountains of Bolivia.

When you think it can't get any worse, the older children are randomly removed from the prison due to over crowding, and many end up on the streets trying to survive. With these desperate situations comes a dynamic answer in the Bolivian Hope Center founded by Rich and Sandee Farthing.

Our high school students and adults have a chance to make a difference in the lives of these children and complete some light construction projects June 9-17. The trip cost is $2,075.
