Watch for our next opportunity to serve together, coming in May.
​
 World Vision and Women of Vision know that life can be very hard for children and families on the other side of the world as well as in our own local communities. This is why Women of Vision in Action teams are serving locally, so that we, with God's help, can make a difference in the lives of others close to home.
