2008 VBS Project - Semillas de Salud
|
| Through this year's World Mission VBS project, children in the US and
Canada will be helping the children of a town named Tehuantepec.
Important instruments needed to carry out health screenings will be
purchased so that every 3 –12 year old child in the local schools will
be tested. This will mean more success in school and better long-term
health for all the children of Tehuantepec. Click here for more information!
