What is the Diamante Project?


The Diamante Project seeks to address the immediate physical, mental, and spiritual needs of the poverty-stricken children of Argentina. By cooperating with local university students from Universidad Adventista del Plata (UAP), we seek to supply sufficient monetary means and man-power to meet these goals.

Current Activities

Physically: Once a week, a group of dedicated UAP students provides some food for the children of Diamante. A series of preventive health lectures have been offered to both the kids and their parents, and regular blood-pressure checks have been administered.

Mentally: Several children are being sponsored to attend the local Seventh-Day Adventist grade school. Personal connections are being made with as many families as possible, while UAP students are offering support and direction.

Spiritually: A special kids' program is produced by UAP students every Saturday afternoon. Children enjoy singing songs, doing crafts, playing games, and learning Bible stories. Several older children and parents have also begun in-depth Bible studies.
