Cever Youth Sponsorship
Our congregation has a new and exciting opportunity to connect with the people of Honduras. As many of you already know, the Maine Conference of the UCC has a partnership with a Honduran denomination; this Honduran church directs a vocational/technical school called CEVER (acronym for a Spanish name). This school provides training for some of the few good-paying jobs available in Honduras. The youth who attend CEVER receive a sense of empowerment in addition to their new skills. Tuition is symbolic, which enables youth from the surrounding rural area to participate.

The Maine Conference of the UCC, in partnership with CEVER and the Honduran church association, has developed a sponsorship program for CEVER students. Sponsors (Padrinos, Godparents) agree to support CEVER by sponsoring a student for three years at a cost of $60/month and $10/quarter administrative fee. Padrinos also agree to write quarterly letters to the student.

The Ministry of Outreach will sponsor one student beginning this year. You are encouraged to participate by directing donations toward this project (cost will be $750/year for three years), adopting a student on your own, volunteering to write a section of one of the quarterly letters to the student, or committing to support the CEVER program in your prayers.
