From Mision Desafio, the ministry of the Rev. Dana and Damaris Craft:

“This year, 2025, thanks to the generous support of All Saints’ Church, VA, 220 children have been helped to attend formal classes while being gifted a new school backpack — containing all the school supplies they will need for the entire academic year. It was such a joy for all of our team to watch their smiling faces and hear their shouts of joy and laughter upon receiving the backpacks! This was the first time any of them had received such a present, and it has really inspired them in ways that one cannot imagine. They believe that they “have value” and that they are worthy of being invested in and are not just an added burden or weight for the parents to have to take care of. These new backpacks have gone a long way in helping to rid these young hearts of the dark, and shameful, dumpsite within their beautiful young hearts.”
