The positive impact of cross-class friendships
Our LHCC families are so grateful to know just one American family who cares for them. We are hoping for many more opportunities to broaden networks for our family partners by leveraging our networks, so that poverty is not the end game. LHCC families work hard and are growing to assimilate to life in the US by surrounding themselves with supportive Anglo advocates, networks, and community partners. Economic, social, and spiritual connectedness are in our DNA at LHCC.
Un fin de semana especial de Quinceañera
El pasado fin de semana, la familia LHCC celebró dos decimoquintos cumpleaños. Uno era para Yair. El otro era para Katherine. Uno estaba en Freedom Park; el otro estaba en St Andrews UMC.
A Special Quinceañera
One 15th birthday was celebrated on a beautiful fall day at Freedom Park enjoying the company of others in a multicultural outdoor setting. The second was memorable because it was special to everyone present in a sanctuary.
Who will guide the next 10 years?
Christ-centered non-profits have a unique opportunity to link arms with others. I hope you will join us in fulfilling our mission as we endeavor to remain mission true in the coming decade. Thank you for reading, and your continued support of our families.
Who rescued who?
It’s a joy to see volunteers rescued by the connection they have made with their student, and hopefully the introduction of the parent who so appreciates the support.
