A bit about Bolivia

Hello. My name is Kristyn and I have been privilidges to get this fabulous team ready for their summer adventures. I was blessed with my first trip to Bolivia in 1998 and returned in 2000. I am attaching a few pictures, links, and youtube videos for you to see a glimpse of the opportunities that might present themselves to this great team of eight. "OCHO" Team Ocho has arrived safely in Trinidad, Bolivia. They flew from LAX and SFO and nearly missed their flight in Miami. The plane was held by the power of prayer- and the team traveled together to La Paz. They cleared customs, found their next plane and boarded to their final destination. I am sure we'll be hearing their stories shortly. Blessings!

I have attached a few links that you might find helpful and interesting. Blessings, and know we are all supporting and praying for our young adults and all they meet. May God go before them and provide them with travel mercies.
