The Children of the dump in Paraguay
Channel: Steven Beaudin
Date: 29/01/2012

A short term missions team from the Cooper City Church of God in south Florida travel to Paraguay to assist missionaries Paul and Rhonda Stockard in 2007. For years we heard about their ministry at the garbage dump where families live in a shanty town surrounding the garbage dump. Their children play in the dump while their parents rummage through the dump looking for recyclable materials to sell. 

Rhonda began reaching out to these families about ten years ago. It started out as a Kids' Klub, then a feeding program in a shack with a dirt floor and a tin roof, then a day care, and now a school in a new school building giving instruction through grade 2 and is approved through grade 9.

The name of the school "Centro Educativo Ko'e ju"  It's the Guarani word for "Rising Sun".
