Republic of Panama Mission

Mission to Panama...UPDATE...PART II!

The Rev. Canon & Mrs. Smith have now returned from a missionary project in the Republic of Panama, Cocle province, City of Penonome. The orphaned children in Penonome have been blessed by your help! The current orphanage is over 70 years old, and is very run-down. The bathrooms and sleeping areas have now been repaired, and ceilings are all in desperate need of repair - they will be the focus of the next mission to Pananma. Canon Smith will organize and oversee the Mission there and asks for your financial support in this holy endeavor. No gift is too small! Note on your donation that it is for Panama, and 100% of your gift will go towards improving the lives of over 30 orphaned girls! Make all checks payable to: "The Free Episcopal Church USA." Dios le Bendiga!

Notice the older pictures just below, then be sure to scroll down to see the wonderful repairs, painting and furnishings Canon and Mrs. Smith have accomplished in 2009! All because of your loving and generous support!

One evening out for a couple in the USA can go a long way in labor, materials, and furnishings for over 30 orpahned girls!

Plumbing improvements in progress. The toilets used to run through the sinks. Now they go through the sewer!

Notice the newer, safer and healthier drop-down ceiling installed in 2009!

Improved washrooms where sanitation once was a problem...
