hi kate, im not sure what video you saw, i didn’t know there was one online. I left bolivia a couple months ago to meet my new niece and figure out how i can stay long term in bolivia. I managed to stay a few years without having to raise support or ask people for money. but that requires me coming home for months at a time to work and save and lose time and connections in bolivia. My next idea is to take a Tesol course and learn to teach english, hoping to get a job there and earn some money. I don’t work with an organization, we’re doing it grassroots. we have a workshop where we teach boys how to work with their hands and pour out hope and purpose in their lives through this medium. plus lots of time on the streets in the gutters loving them and bandaging their wounds. My friend nate is there now running the woodshop and has hired a bolivian man to mentor the boys. we work with small numbers and focus on kids individually with their unique set of circumstances. Which is why i choose not to look for supporters, they typically want to see their money reach lots of kids. in my opinion ngo’s sacrifice quality and care to appease the supporters ideas of how their money should be spent. I plan on heading back in a few months. Sorry this turned into a book with no paragraphs,( i better learn how to write if im going to teach english). if you have any other questions i have lots of information to share on street kids. peace. skip
