IMPORTANT!! Due to COVID19, we had to make the unfortunate decision to cancel VBS for the summer. All current supplies donations and curriculum will be used next summer. Monetary donations have been moved to our Emergency Relief fund.

For all COVID19 updates, see our continuously update blog post.

Dear Friends of Anapra,

It is time to start thinking about Vacation Bible School in Anapra. We are proudly celebrating our 20th year providing VBS for the children in Anapra, Mexico! It takes a lot of people and prayers to make this happen every year. This year’s VBS is July 13-30 and we are planning for 150 kids.

Our KC volunteer, Paulette, developed the curriculum and now we are working on daily crafts and funding. It costs approximately $3,500 for three weeks of VBS. This includes daily crafts and snacks for 11 days and then a party on day 12. Once again we are asking you to help by donating craft supplies, prizes for daily work or the party, or money for rent, food, and the things that need to purchased in Anapra.

Donations can be dropped off at the St. Sabina parish office (700 Trevis Avenue Belton, MO 64012) or contact us (manosamigaskc@gmail.com). If you are interested in visiting Anapra and meeting these great people, please reach out for more information. We’ll keep you posted on our progress and a big thank you for 20 years of providing VBS!
