This past November, a group of members of our church led by Missions Director, Nitza Masferrer, traveled to Medellin Colombia. They visited the boys foster home Más Que Vencedores as well as a home for girls founded by Marta Mosquera, who has dedicated her life to rescuing at-risk girls from dangerous and unhealthy environments. The group was accompanied by the American Airlines Employee Resource Group which aided in the transportation of a total of twenty-six 70lb bags filled with toys and much-needed clothes for the boys and girls.
The American Airlines Employee Resource Group has also arranged for the Medellin AA office to sponsor a special fun-filled event on December 13th at Medellin's Herrera airport for the children. Among the many surprises is the opportunity for the children to board a real American Airlines jet and enjoy the experience for an hour while the plane is grounded.
If you would like to send a Christmas gift to a boy or a girl in need, please call Nitza Masferrer at (305) 796-8476.
