The Guarderia Samuelito, a project of the Bolivian Mennonite Church in Santa Cruz, is located on the outskirts in the neighborhood Cochabamba. Many families in the area have very little income and parents leave their children alone or with older siblings while they work. The church recognizes, through its work with area youth who are mostly illiterate and facing the draw of crime, that it’s essential to begin working with children and their families at an early age. Ongoing support provides a salary for teachers as well as food and educational resources for the children.
