Special Offering
LOPC is committed to serving others locally, nationally, and around the world with financial support as well as with sweat equity. We realize that partners often have unexpected needs arise that require extra support and when this occurs we offer the opportunity to the congregation to help fund these opportunities through a “Special Offering.” Special offerings help fund specific needs and unforeseen disasters.

Fall special Offering: Fotokids
More Than a Camera: The Transforming Power of FotoKids
Fotokids is about much more than just learning photography. It is about real transformation that happens over time.
Many children who joined our program with few opportunities are now adults making a difference in their communities. Some work in public service and politics. Others teach at universities. Some have become professional photographers, even serving as directors of photography for the Presidency of Guatemala.
These stories are not exceptions. They result from years of consistent mentorship, education, and someone believing in them long enough for their lives to change.
None of this would be possible without long-term partners like LOPC. We are not just supporting a program. We help shape futures that reach families, communities, and the whole country.
Every day at Fotokids depends on meeting real and practical needs.
Fotokids’ students need something as simple and essential as a meal when they come to class. They need safe transportation to arrive and return home safely. They need access to tools like cameras, computers, and printing materials so they can learn and create.
Beyond these needs, many need scholarships. Their desire to keep studying is strong, but their financial situation is uncertain. Fotokids also need to keep their learning spaces safe, stable, and well-equipped so creativity and growth can continue without interruption.
