Puerto Rico Outreach Activities
Hospital De Ninos is a permanent residence for the extremely
mentally and physically challenged. Nurses do take care of the patients
but not very many people are able to spend time with them. So among our
various outreach, we visit these kids to spend time with them, singing
for them, making balloons, and offering them the encouragement they need.

Antonio, a young man who volunteers
his time, singing to the kids.
|
In many cases, we can't do too many activities with them, because of
their condition, but at least we can pray with them and give them some
attention and love. Our visits are always such an encouragement to the
staff as well.
