Celebrate One Year of the Oaxaca City Armonía Students Residence

Something that may interest you...

Dear friends,

It is with great joy that we announce to you that this Sunday (July 13) Armonía will be celebrating the one year anniversary of the students' residence in Oaxaca City, Mexico. 

The Armonía Indigenous Mexican Scholar's (AIMS) Program seeks to give an opportunity to excellent students from indigenous backgrounds.  They are given the possibility of winning scholarships to finish their senior high schooling and then, after a year of preparation for university and service of their younger brothers and sisters in the Armonía family, they have the possibility to gain entry into some of the top universities in the country.  It is one of the most exciting projects in Armonía at the moment and we recently received 24 new students who are currently in a camp to help them understand the program.  The camp is at the land we bought last year where we are building our first residence and where so many of our visitors will visit this summer to participate in constructing a residence and relationships with the community.

As our friends around the world, we invite you to join us via the web and participate in giving thanks to God for the achievements, challenges, difficulties and growth of the residence over the last year.  Many of you have been involved in the gradual evolution of this program; praying for us; donating money, time and gifts; coming in person to help us construct; building relationships with the wonderful young people who are our students; and in many many more ways.  You are a part of this program as well and for this reason it is very important to us that you are included in this moment of reflection.

At 2pm in Mexico on the 13th July (7pm GMT, 8pm London, 3pm Orlando, 2pm Chicago, 1pm Los Angeles), we will start the service and broadcast it live via the internet.  Please log onto our very own webcast site: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/aims-armonia-mexico to see us -  although the audio-visual feed is one-way, there is the option to send instant messages to Oaxaca.  Do send us your thoughts and messages!  We would love for you to be a part of this moment when we publicly thank God for His faithfulness and petition Him for the coming year.

With many blessings from everyone in Armonía,
Saul and Pilar Cruz
