• Orphanage

Painted library & house all day! Takes many coats and the children want to help, so there were a few with yellow paint in their hair. One lady, Ruth, also pulled weeds around the painted buildings and she is covered with painted weeds this evening.

• VBS

The children have returned excited to see the person they had contacted with the day before; in fact, at the end of the day one stood in front not wanting her special person to leave and gave her a kiss. They just need a lot of extra love and attention from people who really care. Beautiful children with large large brown eyes. Oh yes, they learned how to cut out a snowflake and that was their favorite!
