Summer 2014

MEET FLOR MARIA, OUR SPONSORED INTERNATIONAL CHILD DOB: Jun 1, 2010 Location: peru likes: drawing my video

This year, APO really wanted to extend our reach to make a real difference in the lives of the millions of children throughout the world who are suffering because of a lack of basic necessities. Through Worldvision charity, we decided sponsor Flor Maria, a 5 yr old girl from a village in peru, with food, water, and healthcare. flor’s father is a mechanic and her mother is a seamstress, but they still have trouble pulling out of poverty. her family will send us letters and we plan to send letters to flor as well.
