Over the last few weeks, we’ve enjoyed visits from members of two different departments of the United States Navy stationed here in El Salvador. The Love & Hope kids were pretty excited at the prospect of a visit from la Fuerza Naval (the Navy). One of the groups brought a personalized gift for each of our children, book bags, and cake to celebrate a few birthdays.
Best of all though, we’ve had fun getting to know them. Those that have visited have played soccer with the kids, toured the house, learned about our ministry, and sat down and talked to the teenagers. We knew that they were great as soon as they had the older girls engaged and laughing!
After learning about our ministry here at Love & Hope Children’s Home, the members of Navy have brought us groceries and cleaning supplies on several occasions and will be helping us prepare and move into the new house. What a blessing! We are so excited to have made this connection and look forward to working with members of la Fuerza Naval de los Estados Unidos.
