Franklin Graham en Florida para animar a los propietarios y voluntarios
Samaritan’s Purse President Franklin Graham traveled to Lee County, Florida, on Thursday, Oct. 6, where Hurricane Ian took dead aim last week and pummeled the Fort Myers area as a Category 4 storm.

Congoleños vulnerables aumentan su poder
In rural parts of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), living with a disability can be extremely difficult—even putting food on the table is a challenge.
