El Puente Home is a girls' orphanage in the beautiful village of Quyquyho, Paraguay. We are a team from Calvary Chapel Mountain View who went to the Home for the first time in 2012. We gave classes and presentations on a variety of subjects: English, Music, Arts and Crafts, Life Skills, Computer Lessons and Bible Studies. Since then, we have formed deep friendships with the girls at the Home and the people of Quyquyho, and we are committed to continue to visit and support it.

International Dinner
Our last fundraising event was a dinner featuring dishes from all over the world. In each table, we put a picture and a short bio of each girl living at El Puente Home. Our friends were encouraged to write letters to them, which we will personally deliver next week when we're there. By the end of the night we collected 86 letters!

Two fundraisers down, one to go.
This past week we kept busy with two events. The first one was a "thank you" dinner for our church, Calvary Chapel Mountain View. Their support for our trip and El Puente Home has been incredible and we wanted to show our gratitude with a simple pasta dinner after our midweek service.
Also, happy birthday Rob!
And just today we wrapped up our last garage sale before the trip. Tons of people stopped by and helped us make $818! Additionally, we got unexpected donations of two laptops and a projector for the El Puente Learning Center. Wow!
Our last fundraiser event will be our traditional International Dinner, on August 23. Once again we will have amazing dishes from around the world and an opportunity to learn more about the girls at the Home.
