Come meet and build relationships with the kids of Casa San Martin in Cochabamba, Bolivia this summer. Parishioners will learn about the daily lives of the children who live in the orphanage. Kids there spend time doing group activities such as arts and crafts, play games, work in their garden and have lots of fun. These activities are also part of what those on the mission trip will experience.
