Real Life: Bolivia
2 months
Project Overview:
It's the hemisphere's highest, most isolated and most rugged nation. It's among the earth's coldest, warmest, windiest and steamiest spots. It boasts among the driest, saltiest and swampiest natural landscapes in the world. Although the poorest country in South America (Bolivians get tired of hearing that), it's also one of the richest in terms of natural resources. The most indigenous country in South America, with over 60% of the population claiming indigenous heritage, including Aymará, Quechua, Guaraní and over 30 other ethnic groups.
Ministry Description:
We will be working in Cochabamba and partnering with some US missionaries that are working there. There are several orphanages, work projects, and schools for ministry opportunities. Baby washing, prayer walks, construction, and street evangelism are all possible ministries that you will be doing.

church wraps its arms around them doing what it knows best in showing
compassion and kindness." Read more...
