First TEN FE trip since Covid! June 2022

/

It was such a wonderful trip with 10 people in June 2022 to return to our beloved Santiago to see the TEN FE students…the first time in 2.5 years because of Covid. So many great things are happening at the school, despite the financial and social setbacks of Covid. The love seen and felt in this school by the gringos this week was unbelievable. We definitely see the positive effects of the hard work and big hearts of the TEN FE teachers and administration. You guys are doing incredible things. Thank you for sharing this special week with us.

Aguas Vivas comes to TEN FE School April 12, 2021, after being postponed by COVID

/

Last March, the TEN FE School was scheduled to have a water treatment centered put in at the school…it was two years in the making and a week before the Aguas Vivas team was supposed to come to Santiago, the world went on shut down. We are very pleased that this water purification system will be installed next week! This will make a huge difference for the school and the students!

Projects

Agua Viva means “Living Water” in English. Our water purification systems and our health and hygiene education programs are the heart of our efforts.  Agua Viva has installed 8 systems in Guatemala and 7  systems in Ecuador. We have 2 systems operating in Honduras, 1 in Tanzania, and have plans to install pure water in Cuba in the near future.  The hardware for each system costs approximately $7,500 USD and the design provides for a very efficient, low-maintenance, and low-operating cost installation for the communities we serve.

If you feel led to serve by volunteering or through your financial or prayerful gifts, we appreciate you more than you can ever imagine! Removing the weight of the financial burden for these trips allows us to focus on the quality of our program. It also allows us to focus on preparations so that we can make these trips more fun and meaningful to our host communities and volunteers.

Grace Fellowship High School Ministry Mission Trip to TEN FE

In June 11 high school students and 4 chaperones from Grace Fellowship Church in Florence went to TEN FE for 8 days.  They spent time with the TEN FE kids, put on a VBS workshop, and helped work on the land, cleaning and preparing it for the school to soon be built.  It was an amazing week of laughs, love, growth, and tears.  Thank you for all of the wonderful memories and touching experiences.

Be on the lookout soon for video footage of the TEN FE students, their families, and the land of the future TEN FE school and community center, all thanks to Master Provisions and our partnership with them.  In August I will have the pleasure of traveling back to Santiago to conduct interviews and film footage for a promotional message about TEN FE and our mission as an organization.  I am very grateful for this opportunity...I can't wait to see what comes out of this special effort. :)
