YOUTH AND KIDS
Values Festival with Children in Costa Abajo, Colón
Project Joel developed a presentation on the subject of family, conducted by Project Joel's volunteers (Fanny and Sixto Guevara). We had the privilege of engaging with numerous children residing in remote areas, who contend with limited access to drinking water and severe economic challenges. A group of volunteers contributed donations of food and books, and ultimately, we organized an enjoyable performance featuring Memo's family. Our involvement underscored the significance of instilling Christian values and principles in children. This endeavor is part of the Red Boots program, during which we also conducted a devotional and brief Bible studies to convey the message of love and hope from our Lord Jesus.
Students created crafts in honoring their fathers's love
To honor fathers, Project Joel motivated children to create crafts to present to their fathers. Additionally, booklets from LHM Panama were distributed, conveying a message of hope from God for all fathers on their day of recognition. This serves as a significant opportunity to connect with these families. We express our gratitude to God for this momentous occasion and pray that the Lord Jesus Christ blesses all fathers.

Andrea's Testimony
My name is Andrea, and I am a school teacher. Some time ago, I volunteered for Pasitos de Panay and Proyecto Joel as part of my teacher training. Subsequently, I relocated, and many aspects of my life became complicated, leaving me confronted and profoundly affected. This period served as a significant learning experience. Over time, I committed myself to volunteer work and Christian initiatives, reapplying the values instilled in me by Teacher Maritza, who positively influenced my life. Today, I have the pleasure of reuniting with her at Omar Park for the Memo Clan activity. I have joined the group of schoolchildren I mentor. Receiving this Bible and sharing it with others is a testament to God's remarkable work. Thank you!
