Helping Hands International adopted a small Orphanage called Rivers in the Desert in Guadalajara around 2005 with approximately eleven special children. The students quickly became like family to our non-profit and we committed to long term care and ministry to see these kids grow to become productive young adults. For many years, we sent two Volunteer teams a year to help care for the wonderful children and give the local staff a much needed rest. More recently, our work has shifted to prayer and financial support (verses on-site mission trips) to assist Director Henry & Martha's on-going efforts. We are happy to share that two of the young women from this Orphanage are now walking with the Lord and pursuing a higher education at College. To learn more about our long term relationship with this Orphanage in Guadalajara, or future opportunities to assist, contact us!
