SPECIAL PROJECT Shoes for Needy Children

Towards the end of June, the ABW sent $800 to the Fundacion Arco Iris, La Paz to help buy new shoes for street children.  This amount does not cover all of their costs, especially now that winter is approaching in Bolivia.  We invite all our members and friends to help support this project.  The cost of a pair of good winter shoes is $20.00.  If you would like to help, please see our DONATE page. 100% of your donation goes towards the purchase of shoes.

Check out our DONATE page for more information.
