2020 El Salvador Transit
About the Journey
Through our partnership with La Casa de mi Padre, this student team will head to El Salvador. Just north of the equator in Central America, it’s a land of abundant volcanoes, mountaintop views, black-sand beaches, and tropical flowers and forests.
From Atlanta, the team will fly into San Salvador, El Salvador’s capital city. Your hotel is a short drive from the airport and about 35 minutes to the La Casa Farm where you’ll be serving each day.
We’re excited to come alongside La Casa de mi Padre as they work to restore families by providing a loving family environment for some of the country’s most vulnerable children. With three family homes on the property and another one in town, they’ve successfully created opportunities for children in need to experience love and acceptance in a traditional family environment.
Some of the projects the team may take on include painting, landscaping, cleaning, organizing, and any other needs the community may have. You’ll have time to get to know the children and the families that live on the property and hike to visit with and deliver meals to families in the surrounding village.
The Salvadoran families and children will truly touch your heart. They have lived in poverty and seen much suffering, but they have hope for a better tomorrow. If you’re ready to serve these children and families, apply for this journey now!
Students: if you are under the age of 18 and will be at the time of travel, you will need a parent present to help you complete part of your application.
Please only apply for ONE student trip at a time.
Price listed is per person.
