Children of Villa Tehuelches

About an hour's drive from Punta Arenas the village of Villa Tehuelches can be found. During the week there are some 50 students who attend the elementary school. In August missionaries were allowed to share Bibles, tracts, Christian stories and crafts with the children and the teachers.
