The Other Recycling Community

Down the street from the International school is an area covered with piles of items to be recycled. Two years ago, the church that meets at the International school, the Acacias Community church, began an outreach there, and discovered 45 families working together in this recycling collective, many in deep poverty.
Since then, during holidays and other special times, they have provided programs and outreaches. Until recently, they were also serving soup once a week through the soup ministry. Through this, two of the women were led to the Lord and are now active members at the Acacias Community church! We were excited to include this group of children in our Easter Celebrations this year!

*Note: The painted rocks you see in the video were the "eggs" we hid for the Easter Egg hunt!

Carmen and Guga led a group of older kids, while some other volunteers from the church set up a little area for the smaller kids. Over five children raised their hands to invite Jesus into their life.
