It's Time....

At last.....the project is underway!!!! After almost 3 weeks of deliberation, prayer, and looking at several other opportunities, we found ourselves right back at the little farm school, wanting to help those kids in some practical way. We spoke to the headmaster, and together with the the rest of the staff, we (and they) decided what they needed most right now, is a place to get in out of the rain while they eat. So on Thurs. morning, our builder, Anton, will start putting up a shelter right next to the little "kitchen". Hopefully, we will see it completed by the time we leave on the 18th and be able to post a picture for you to see.
Thanks for your prayers. This has been a very confusing time for us. We're sure the devil hates to see anything happen for these poor kids that might, in some small way, help them eventually break the cycle of poverty in their lives. This little shelter probably doesn't seem like much to any of us, but maybe just being able to stay dry while eating lunch might help a kid stay in school and become more than he would have otherwise. Who knows?
Pictures coming soon...
