• The Ushpa-Ushpa day care center continues to evolve beautifully, providing meals, health care and a stimulating educational environment for extremely impoverished pre-school children. The grade school at Ushpa-Ushpa broke ground last November. Kudos to Christian Reuhmer, who makes the Ushpa-Ushpa miracle possible!
  
  

• The Montessori school at Rosa de Anze continues to grow, adding an additional grade this year. Debby Chadwick of Arizona is providing leadership and fundraising efforts to make possible training and proper equipment for the school.
  
  

• Hogar San Jose, a new home for handicapped abandoned children provides love and specialized medical care, physical therapy and related services. Director Father Alirio is a long-time friend of BCF having been the director for more than a decade at Hogar Teresa de los Andes.
  
  

• Dr. Bautista will head the fifth medical mission to Punata in February. He and his team will once again provide life-saving and life-changing help to so many children and adults who would otherwise not receive medical assistance.
  
  

• We will continue the scholarship program for the young women graduating from San Ignacio Home & School. Mary Cruz is in her last year finishing her teaching degree. Sylvia is in nursing school and Marcella has also selected a teaching career. Many special thank to Martin and Judy Harris and Emilie’s Charities for the Sylvia’s scholarship!
