Our Mission serves the children of the Internado de la Anuciata, in Chichicastenango (Chichi), Guatemala.  The Internado is run by six Dominican Nuns.  This school provides shelter, food, clothing and an education for about 200 indigenous girls between the ages of 6 and 17 who hail primarily from 13 Mayan Villages located in the mountains that surround Chichi.

It takes $35 a month to provide the necessary food, clothing and personal needs for each child at the school.  Our Mission is dedicated to finding sponsors who will provide this monetary support.  Our goal is to find a sponsor for every child at the Internado.  This mission is run by an all volunteer staff, so every dollar of sponsorship money is sent to the school and used supporting the children.

The school facilities themselves are old, and there are times when major repair and renovation work is needed.  At such times, we look for individuals and corporations to help us provide for such work.  Such work is funded and conducted separately from the monthly sponsorships.

Knowing that all of us, regardless of race, nationality, education or social status, are created in the image of God (Genisis 1:27), we are driven to care for the least among us, as Jesus Christ commands (Matthew 25:40).  If there is any reward in doing this, it is in knowing that many of the girls have continued their education after leaving the Internado, and have gone back to their villages as teachers, nurses and social workers. Many of them have also helped other family members to get an education, and some have opened the first schools in their village.  We offer of ourselves to those who are in need.  They take what they have received and in turn give of themselves to still more who are in need, and so it goes.  That is how the body of Christ is built on earth.
