Whoa....what a long but productive day!     Part of the group spent from 8 in the morning to about 4 in the afternoon working on the school fence project, and made a lot of progress there.   Another smaller group went out the the new orphanage site, and spent time with 'the babies', a number of infants to small toddlers who are taken care of during the day by a babysitter, while their mothers go to school.  After lunch at the church, we again split into two with some of the group working at the old orphanage, and some of us staying behind and continuing the fence work.

After a quick break and shower, we shared a bible study with members of the Camalote Methodist church, including several young men from a place called the Freedom House.   It was a blessing to be studying the bible with local Christians in such a setting.     After a late dinner (for us - 8 pm) we had our devotional and made plans for tomorrow.   We purchased groceries the day before for the orphanage and they were delivered today as well.    A lot more babies were discovered at the visit to the new orphanage today, and so the hope is to be able to provide more supplies for those infants such as basic infant toys, walkers and such.

  1. Jesus said "let the little children come to me". Sounds like you guys are doing a good job imitating Christ, and helping the locals to be able to do this task as well. Glory to God! :D
