SINCE OUR ARRIVAL IN THE HIGHLANDS, INFANT MORTALITY RATES AND DEATHS OF SMALL CHILDREN HAVE PLUMMETED TO THEIR LOWEST LEVELS. WE ALSO INSTITUTED A "FOOD FOR THOUGHT" FEEDING PROGRAM THAT ALLOWS FAMILIES TO SEND THEIR CHILDREN TO SCHOOL (RATHER THAN MAKING THEM WORK TO PROVIDE FOOD FOR THE FAMILY) AND IN EXCHANGE THE FAMILIES RECEIVE MONTHLY PACKAGES OF RICE, SUGAR, BEANS, AND INCAPARINA (A HIGHLY NUTRITIONAL DRINK). SINCE IMPLEMENTING THE PROGRAM THE CHILDREN'S SCORES, WEIGHT, HEALTH, AND THE OVERALL WELLBEING OF THE FAMILIES HAS GONE UP. IN ORDER TO PROVIDE THESE SERVICES AND IN ORDER TO PROVIDE SERVICES TO A WIDER GEOGRAPHICAL AREA FAITH IN ACTION HAS SUPPORTED NUMEROUS MISSIONAIRIES, INCLUDING DOCTORS, DENTISTS, LABORERS, ETC. WHO HAVE VOLUNTEERED THEIR TIME TO HELP US ASSIST AS MANY INDIVIDUALS AS POSSIBLE. 60821 BEFORE FAITH IN ACTION OPENED UP SCHOOLS IN THE MOUNTAINS, MANY OF THE FAMILIES COULD ONLY AFFORD FOR ONE OF THEIR CHILDREN TO HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF GOING TO SCHOOL. THIS WAS MAINLY BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF MONEY NEEDED TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE SHOES OR RESPECTABLE CLOTHES (WITH NO HOLES SO THAT THE CHILD WOULD NOT BE ASHAMED TO ATTEND CLASSES). SO, IN RESPONSE TO THE NEEDS OF THE FAMILIES WE SERVE, FAITH IN ACTION SUPPLIES ALL THE CHILDREN WHO ATTEND SCHOOL ON A REGULAR BASIS WITH UNIFORMS. WE ALSO 232059 WE ARE CONSTRUCTING A DORMITORY IN ZACAPA, GUATEMALA, WHERE A FREE UNIVERSITY HAS JUST OPENED UP.

WE WILL PROVIDE BIBLICAL TEACHING, SAFE AND SECURE HOUSING, TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM SCHOOL, BOOKS, UNIFORMS, OTHER SCHOOL EXPENSES, NUTRITIOUS FOOD AND SAFE DRINKING WATER.
