Shalom Vocation School Project Back To Site Map
|
| Construction of the Vocation School addition at Shalom School in Guatemala City, Guatemala is a joint effort between Kids for the Kingdom and Carpenters for Christ. This project, when complete, will allow the students to train for vocations which will give them a head start on a better life in Guatemala. Work has already begun in preparation for the Carpenters for Christ visit January 20, 2005. We will update this picture gallery as work progresses. You can also check the site of www.libertymissions.org. From the home page, click on Photo Gallery, then on New Vocational School. Some of the photos below were taken from their site with permission. |
