life with team five!!

Having team three was a great blessing to the village! having the container during their time here despite the challenges we faced getting it,was also a a big blessing!
we long to have teams that will bless the village in many ways! all your skills can be a big blessing here. so next time you could volunteer to come and be part of what the lord is doing in the lives of the children here.


kids showing off their lovely bags that where made specially for them with their names on them. a big thanks to the loving hearts that devoted their time to make them. the bags had a pencil, lollipops,a small car and other nice things.


winnie shows off her bags.

kids intertain the teams on their last nite at the site.

the night the team left was an emotional time! many kids had got attached to the team members. The night saw every team member share about their experiences at the village and their experiences in a new country. they felt greatly humbled by the hospitality they found here. the mothers too shared their experiences with the team members.

Ivan thanks once again for a wonderful update. It is so good to see the joy of the children and the shared joy in the faces of our team members - what a blessing! We continue to pray for all of you - please pass on to the mothers and children that they are very special. I am so looking forward to those strong, straight bricks - hallelujah! Be blessed Johann
