Our Christmas Wish List
Would you consider adding Mission Santa Maria to your Christmas list? Here is what we need most to continue to best serve the children in our programs.
Volunteer Spotlight: Nicole
For many years, we have been blessed to connect interested folks with the Mission Home and School for volunteer opportunities. Volunteers come for a few weeks, others for months at a time; sometimes in organized groups, and sometimes on their own. Right now, we are fortunate that Nicole is volunteering at the Mission Home and School.
Building Bridges: The story of Diego and Maria
Diego arrived at the Mission Home as a newborn baby after being abandoned in the street. For the past three years, he has been loved and cared for by one missionary caregiver, Maria.
Work-Study Program Participants Present to High School Seniors
Mission Santa Maria is happy to share that five Mission School graduates will complete their second semester in the DP World Shipping work-study program in February.
Happy Thanksgiving from Ecuador!
