YWEA 2010 PROJECT ANNOUNCED
Author: David Ray
YWEA 2010--OPERATION RESCUE
The 2010 YWEA Project will focus once again on hurting children of the world. Under the theme “Hope for the Hopeless–Operation Rescue” the YWEA 2010 emphasis will target Nogales, Mexico and Bogota, Colombia.
In Nogales we will raise funds to construct an orphanage for the abandoned and abused children who’s parents gather at the border in search of a better life. The children of Nogales are abandoned as familes disintegrate leaving the children to fend for themselves. These childern are forced into prostitution, gangs and child labor just to survive.
In Bogota, Colombia we will enlarge and expand a “safe house” for children. Currently a “safehouse” for girls is in operation but is limited in scope. YWEA 2010 will help to relocate this “safehouse” and enlarge it to include young boys also. Children in Colombia are targeted by the guerillas who force them to serve as soldiers in the guerrilla armies. They are sexually and physically abused and neglected. It is estimated that in Colombia an average of seven (7) children are killed every day–One Every Three Hours. Your support of YWEA-Operation Resuce will provide a safe secure home for many abandoned and abused children.
Remember 100% of your gift and donation will go directly toward the projects in Nogales and Bogota. For more information contact us at ywea@churchofgod.org or visit the website at www.yweaoperationrescue.org
