BBM has been so blessed to receive so many teams for the year 2012. We also know that the current school we are helping; the Roberto Sosa School will be finished with the first 4 teams or so. So we have been working on looking for the next school in need. It is always tough to discern which school and where the need is most. We were hooked up with our friends from the Department of Health as seen in bottom photo. They put us into contact with the Santa Margarita School. Jose Luis the man in the blue shirt is the main Director of this Department. He explained to us that this school is very malnourished and they need a lunch program desperately. Jose also explained that he and his staff have been following our work in the Venezuela School as well as the Fuerzas Armadas School. They explained that these schools have changed in the areas that the students are healthier, their grades have gone up, and their attitudes are much more positive. So the Santa Margarita School is in need of this help. This school is a melting pot of various Barrios. The majority of the students don’t have the proper uniform or books to study with. However they are beleivers in Jesus and we blessed this school with toothbrushes, New Testiment Bibles, and work books about the story of Jesus. We also told the Director we will be helping them as soon as we are finished with the Roberto Sosa School.
