The cost is only $10.00, which includes lunch! Our own Rev.

The following is a comment from Inhijambia director Mirna Sánchez: “You may ask why our wish list includes TV sets. A TV does sound like a luxury item, but for our young people, watching TV is much more wholesome than hanging out in the streets. We educate them continuously about appropriate shows to watch. “
