MISSION PROJECT - Alpacas are uniquely created by God to live in the
mountains of Ecuador! They help out in the garden by providing rich
fertilizer for hungry plants. Their thick fur is sheared every year and
provides warm clothes in the cold Andes climate. Because their feet are
not hard like horse or cow hooves, they don’t compact the soil, and
that’s good for farming and the environment. Alpacas help provide a
critical source of income for many Ecuadorian families. Adding an alpaca to a family farm in Ecuador not
only transforms the fate of the family but also helps provide jobs and
resources to the entire community! Each donation helps provide life-changing livestock to Ecuadorian families.
CREWS - We are unable to grant requests for placement in a particular crew or with a particular friend. Children are placed in mixed-age groups, creating wonderful opportunities to make new friends and have greater learning experiences in a non-competitive, team-building environment.
PICTURES - Registrants may be photographed for inclusion multi-media presentation, on our Church website or Facebook pages. Be sure to request to join "St. Thomas VBS" on Facebook and follow the excitement! (Exclusion is by written request to VBS administration only.)
