On-Going Projects

  • Can/Bottle Drive for Compassion:  Help us as we support our newly adopted child in Latin America.  By collecting your bottles and cans and bringing them to Chapel House you can help us raise the $32/month we give to Compassion International to help our child learn and grow. 

    Meet our Compassion Child:  Juliany Elizabeth Henriquez Chavarria is 5 years old and lives with her father and her mother.  She is responsible for running errands.  Her father is employed as a laborer and her mother maintains the home.  Juliany is not attending school because she is too young.  Singing, listening to music and running are her favorite activities.  She also attends Bible classes regularly.  Juliany lives in the hillside community of Pueblo Nuevo, Villanueava Cortes, home to approximately 5300 residents.  Typical houses are constructed of cement floors, mud walls and corrugated iron roofs.  The regional diet consists of maize, beans, plantains, rice and eggs.  Common health problems in this area include respiratory illnesses, intestinal infections, malnutrition, and worms.  Most adults work in factories and earn the equivalent of $147 per month.  This community needs schools, teachers, employment opportunities, increased salaries, sport facilities and drug and alcohol abuse prevention centers.

  • Donate Your Old Cell Phones and Ink Cartridges and Help Save the Environment:  It's simple!  donate your cell phones or ink cartridges that are just lying around and we will send them to be properly disposed of!  if they are just thrown away, they can contaminate groundwater. Also, if you don't use your old cell phones anymore, we can recycle them to a good home.  Just drop them off in State, Colonial, Dutch or Indian Quad Offices or in the Campus Center near the Information Desk.  (or call us and we'll pick them up).
