Yamelit, Liceth and Yulianna
February 14 is the day many people across the Western world celebrate love. Although we often celebrate romantic love, we took this day to celebrate the power of God’s love as we inducted three girls into the youth transitional home, Hogar Luz de Vida. Together, with staff and youths involved in our scholarship program, we celebrated the opportunity for these young ladies to find hope through our organization. The group gathered together to share a meal and a service led by a local pastor.
Two of the girls, Yamelit and Yulianna, were transitioned to our home from a local orphanage where they have spent most of their lives. Liceth left her home in the jungle of Peru in hopes to find work in Trujillo to help pay for her university studies and live with her aunt. Unfortunately, her aunt locked her out one night and Liceth found herself homeless and on the streets. All three girls, are now living at Hogar Luz de Vida, provided with a three year program where they will learn how to become independent women in their own country. They will learn life skills, continue to grow in their faith and receive and education either from the university or a technical school Please pray for each of these young ladies during this next phase of their lives.
During the service our psychologist, Ruth, shared a song with the group
