This has been a year of firsts for many in the Nuevo Camino community. First birthday cake…first time someone listened to their story…first time buying new clothes from a store. First time feeling safe from harm. This was this mom’s first time ever in a restaurant. Perspective!
It is COLD in the Andes Mountains right now, and these little ones were grateful for some new coats and pants! Thanks for helping us make their cold season a little warmer.
This weekend, Something New volunteers helped organize the Amani Women’s Center sewing room. Dozens of women in the Clarkston community attend sewing classes twice a week, in order to find ways to help provide for their families. Read more here!
One of our volunteers held a coat drive for one of the Nuevo Camino moms and the kids of San Juan. Their thank you video is too cute for words. Check it out here!
Snacks and jump ropes! #parkdays #justkeepjumping
Today is Peru’s Independence Day. We celebrate together with our Nuevo Camino mothers and children who are gaining their own independence. Nothing makes us happier than seeing people break cycles and find new paths to life!
Teachers and students interrupted their regular classes to say (and sing!) their thank you’s for help with the new library. Irresistible faces!
With a little help from their friends, the people of San Juan built a new library for their schools. Something New helped purchase supplies, while the teachers, parents and kids worked together to create a beautiful new learning space. Students sang and performed to celebrate its grand opening!
Fighting for a new path is no walk in the park. But when you’re not alone it’s a little bit easier. Today marked another beautiful park day with Nuevo Camino!
Nuevo Camino started a new tradition of park days on Sunday afternoons. It is a blast for all, and these kids can’t wait to get there!
