When a need crosses our path, we respond. It doesn’t always make sense, and we don’t always have a plan for what we are going to do. We just know we have to do something.
Right now, we are focused on supporting families in Peru who are seeking a new path, or nuevo camino. Through Nuevo Camino, we support refugees from Venezuela, single mothers fighting to escape domestic violence and other families battling the daily realities of poverty.
Support looks like safe housing, nutritious meals every day, English classes, medical care, job training, play and learning for children, and most importantly—connection. When people are connected, they succeed.
With a network of volunteers and supporters that stretches across two continents we are choosing to do something new every day.
