We went to Villa Toba in Rosario with the sole purpose of letting the Toba know that someone cares about them. John 3:16. One of the best ways to care for a people group is to care for their kids. We held a kids program for a few days where we painted faces, played games, sang songs, and tried our best to show them God's love.

"The majority of the Toba migrants settled in Rosario, which is a large city in the south of Santa Fe and had seen a previous wave of Toba in the 1950s and 1960s. Communication and family ties were kept in time, so the newcomers found a place; job opportunities and government assistance, even if scarce and of poor quality, were considerably more available in an urban setting than in Chaco. An estimated 10,000 Toba came to Rosario in the 1990s, and settled mostly in slums (villas miseria)."
