They currently help support two programs that are empowering children and their families in Cartagena, Colombia and Mendoza, Argentina. 

• In Cartagena, Colombia they started a tutoring program to help children falling behind in school get the help that they need to not only survive, but thrive.
• In Mendoza, Argentina they support an educational program that serves at-risk children and families. PEPE's provides educational support, basic needs, and a supportive community for the children and families in their community.
