6 Dear Blessed Trinity Families, I wish you and your loved ones a Blessed and Holy Easter Season. Today, I reach out to you to extend an invitation for you to participate in a service project that my 7th grade Religion class is doing. My 7th graders did a Lenten reflection where the character ended up giving his shoes to a young person who did not have any. They were touched by the message and from there we came up with this project. During the summer I go to Mindo on a mission trip to help a boarding school in the mountains of Ecuador. The school educates close to 700 students but there are over 200 children ranging from ages 5-16 who we, as a mission focus on. These children do not go home at all during the school year mostly because their families cannot afford to have them with them or pay for their travel expenses to get there. Two of the three mission trips that go to this community in the summer are strictly dedicated to them. We find sponsors for each child to pay for their monthly meals; we offer them checkups and medicine through the medical mission in July and we provide them with shoes, clothing, hygiene items and school supplies on the youth mission I chaperone in mid-june. These children have limited resources and yet they are so happy and grateful. The school provides them with their school uniform and shoes but they must bring their own clothing and shoes for afternoon play time and weekends. Many of those 200 children have but 3 sets of clothing and an extra pair of shoes. We are extremely blessed that our children outgrow most of their things without much use therefore we are collecting lightly used shoes and clothing to take to them. During Spring break if you are spring cleaning your closets and drawers we ask that you think of the children of Mindo and place your things in a bag or box. You can bring them to school from Monday, April 9th when we return until April 18th. On behalf of myself and the children of UEFTE in Mindo THANK YOU! Your generosity and prayers are greatly appreciated. In Christ s peace, Rosa Mari Alvarez
