“I love my new school. It’s safe”. “I don’t have to fight off menacing threats to join a gang” “The teachers encourage you and expect you to learn!” - King’s Palace children attending their new school. On January 18, 2016, five children from King’s Palace began a new school year at a private Christian school. As the children boarded the shuttle bus, they were eager, nervous and determined to take advantage of this new opportunity. Over the past few weeks a sense of purpose, importance, and privilege has become apparent in these five children. It is amazing to see the potential of these kids coming to fruition and the inspiration this is to the other children at King's Palace. Children are imagining a life that does not include a gang, incarceration or early death. Parents are daring to dream a life of education and purpose for their children. These children face obstacles and challenges that most of us cannot comprehend; yet they are determined to achieve. Please join us in praying for the children of King's Palace and for the journey they have just begun. We pray for success!! Thanks to our generous donors, the children were able to start school with the needed supplies. King's Palaces provides breakfast to the children before school and a meal upon their return. Ready for the day! Ed Maldonado helps the children understand and complete their home work. Ed and Bersy love and encourage the children on a daily basis.
