Through Bridge Builders, students partnered with the people of El Quinche and Compassion International, aiding in the construction of a new facility for children at the church ‘El Buen Pastor.’  The project expansion helped to allow the Student Center ‘Nueva Amanecer’ to open their doors to more children and better serve the students already attending.
