Dreamers and Doers

Get to know some of the people and organizations from Nueva Guinea with ideas for improving their community. 

Policia Nacional Softball team 

This softball team used their micro-grant to purchase new jerseys...doing they look great?! Playing with pride, building team spirit, and building their community! 

Escuela rigoberto cabeza (Rigoberto Cabeza school)

The school used their micro-grant to repair the roof of the school, paint, and replace 10 desks. The repaired roof will keep the students and teachers dry from the frequent rains. 

Iglesia Capilla el Calvario  (Calvary Chapel Church)

Church leaders used their micro-grants to purchase books, craft supplies, and chairs for the children. They started a new Sunday school, which over 100 children now attend every week!

Meet jose 

His grandparents were among the first to settle in Nueva Guinea in 1965. His love for the region runs deep. He dreams of showing others what a beautiful place Nueva Guinea is by starting a tourist business to bring people to the area.   

Meet giovani

Giovani is a dentist, and he wants to teach children about dental hygiene. He wants to visit schools and pass out kits containing toothbrushes, toothpaste, and floss--items that not everyone can afford--to better the health of the community.   

Meet the GIRLS

These girls may look tiny, but their dreams are big. They want to form a girls club where they can meet on a regular basis and hang out together learning about women and opportunities for their future.
