From Our Founded Ministries
Sunday at Martin de Porres
The "Summer of Mariposas" was the event of the weekend at the MDP Center, where a group of learners came together to learn about plant care.
Two of the group's adults led a class in Spanish on how to care for plants in the home.
The summer happening stems from the mission of Project Mariposas, to create an environment of learning, sharing and support to Latina girls and their mothers.
