Bricks, Babies & Schoolwork

On one of our tours we were able to see where and how the bricks are made in Bolivia. Brick is used for most construction and is often a family run business. I'm amazed at how the Bolivian community takes common raw materials and turns them into a family business. It seems that everyone in Bolivia is involved in some sort of an enterprise, even the children. Hard work is part of everyday life, even in the blistering sun.

And babies are part of what's happening at CCC La Palmera. How a society takes care of its little ones tells us about that society. Babies in Bolivia are well taken care of.

And as babies grow, they need to go to school. Education is one of the fundamental gifts that CCC La Palmera gives to the community. When children are properly and lovingly taught, they gain real hope for a productive and abundant life. What a treat it has been to see so many children receive a quality education through the efforts of CCC LA Palmera. And we've been able to see how these children have grown into community leaders, willing to invest their lives back into the lives of others. Look carefully, because I'm sure you can see tomorrow's leaders at their school work today.
