Today,we were blessed to meet with high school students sponsored by St. John LaLande parishioners. We enjoyed games, ice breaker activities, and conversations. Students shared their hopes, dreams, thankfulness to God and thankfulness to their sponsors. We shared information back and forth about family life, education, faith and careers. Many students walk one or more hours each way to get to school Monday-Friday;while some walk 2-3 hours each way and only attend Saturday school.
Students on sponsorships must give back in their communities by teaching primary school children in collectivos in the afternoons The program is built on empowering students to be future leaders who understand the importance of paying it forward while always placing God first.
