On Saturday there was a big party in Cayambe! We had the opportunity to celebrate anniversaries of the project. We were celebrating the Medical Clinic being open for 5 years and the Home for At Risk Children for 4 years! We celebrated with over 100 invited guests from near and far, many who came down from the communities we serve up in the mountains. We also had distinguished guests from Government Entities as well as other NGO’s. The festivities began at the Home for At Risk Children where we prayed for the Home and released ballons to commemorate. Then we formed a parade and walked down to the propery of the Iglesia Emanuel and the Medical Clinic and met with all of the invited guests in the soccer coliseum where we could spread out for social distancing. The Santiago Partnership co-founder, Kim Delp, shared a reflection on the role of women in the project and in the Bible. Special awards were presented and gifts were given to community members who arrived. It was a great celebration of the amazing work that has been accomplished over the past five years.
