Thank you PCA for the gifts!

We had the privilege of delivering gifts to the children both yesterday and today. PCA's grade 10 students donated shoes for each of the children here at the Children's Home and we surprised them with the shoes by having them lift a parachute which then revealed the shoes underneath. They then searched for their own pair of shoes by looking for their names in the shoes. The children were so excited and so grateful for the new shoes that they don't want to take the tags off! Thank you grade 10s for your generous gift to these children!






Today, we delivered the bed sheets that the grade 9s purchased for the children. We placeed each of the new bed sheets on their mattresses and had them open the packages and helped them to put them them on. They were so thankful to own something new, I saw a few of the girls hold the sheets to their faces to feel how soft they were. Thank you grade 9s for giving them these gifts. They will sleep on new bed sheets tonight!






As I finish up this post, our team is leading the last session with the children downstairs. They are singing "Same, same hands" and the a part of the lyrics goes "The same, same hands that made the mountains....And in His hands I know I'll always be!". That is our prayer for these children, that they will know that their lives are in God's hands, which is already evident by their being able to be here in this home. These children have a captured our hearts in the time we have been with them. They have shown us that joy and happiness is not dependent on possessions and challenged us by being so generous with the little that they have.

We will be leaving here soon and I can imagine that it will be difficult to go, knowing that we will not return. But we find comfort to know that they are in good hands.
