CERI operates weekly children’s retreats in one of Mexico’s poorest cities, creating a safe haven for children to eat, play, learn, and receive spiritual encouragement. CERI is also developing processes to assist families in getting their children documented by the government so they will be eligible to attend school and utilize other government benefits. In addition to planning new medical missions to provide free medical and dental assistance to impoverished families, CERI has recently launched a new sponsorship program there.
