WORK

his born in the heart of the Pastor Diego and his wife Mary in 2000. Seeing the needs of each poor family. Everything started when people visited the home of Pastor Diego for help for their children who wanted to continue studying, need for construction of house to live in, or health T

need. Doing a statistic study on the economic level of the people there is a 85 % of parents have a daily income of Q 25.00 maintaining an average of 5 children. Most children do not complete primary school for lack of funds . And there is a percentage of children who from an early age began working to bring economic support to their family. At the same time there are children who have no father, and the mother has to work very hard to raise her children. In some places ill mothers , daughters are working to bring food and medicine to the house . These people have an ability to do some crafts. As example:

1 - Hand Embroidery2 - Make fabrics (weaving)3 - Make beaded ornaments or beadwork and others.

So from several years we were looking for a market to sell the products.The future vision is that children and young people complete their studies. That illiteracy being less, that families have a better life and a good nutrition as well.

TABITA Why the name? (Acts 9:36-42 ) There are five reasons:

-Firstly because she was one disciple of the Lord. A follower.-Secondly, because full of good works and alms.-Thirdly, because she joined all together the widows and felt a life expectancy.-Fourth because they worked and showed the skill of his hands making robes (dresses) and others.-Fifth They gave testify of the Gospel
