Simple girls who have come out of their way just to be in solidarity with the poor children of El Salvador. The girls shared their talents and skills with the children. ( Art, handicrafts,painting, dancing, origami, etc) Part of their immersion is agricultural work at the FI garden and in the Livestock. They had a chance to have exposure also at Cagayan de Oro Limkitkai center for a half day and a visit to the Divine Mercy Shrine on the last day .
