Assignments!
The biggest team within the team today was assigned to both construction and painting projects at the guest house and at the house the Maison de Lumiere staff will soon be living in. The painting is a huge project that will continue over at least another day this week. We're also going to be making some cabinets for the girls to keep their clothes and other belongings in. Rob and Jim are heading up that project.
Dave and Emily - painters extraordinaire!
We are blessed to have a nurse, Ann, on our team. She has been helping out in the clinic this week and has been treating a pregnant woman who is very ill. Tomorrow and Thursday the clinic will be open and she will be seeing patients there throughout the day.
Nurse Ann - she is the best!
A couple of us had the opportunity to hang out with the younger kids who are in day care this morning. They are so adorable.
Rose plays with two of the girls - Bubbles!
Dave and Julie spent the morning working on trying to organize and format school pictures for the kids and the staff at Maison de Lumiere's school. Let's just say it was Dave & Julie vs. the printer - the printer won!
Dave - commanding the room, but not the printer.
Tomorrow Dave, Emily and Pam have worked with the principal at the school to put together some special activities (and cake) to celebrate Teacher's Day. The rest of us are planning to continue with the projects we started today.
This afternoon we had the opportunity to participate in the Feeding Program, which as the name might suggest is a program to feed kids that live in the area surrounding Maison de Lumiere. Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday 100 kids who are living in very difficult conditions come to the boys house for games, singing, a Bible lesson and much-needed food. Stay tuned tonight for post tonight dedicated just to the Feeding Program - a heartbreaking and powerful experience.
Right now we're off to a team meeting!
Hi Team! It's great to see everyone using their gifts! I love that Dave is painting and Rose is doing bubbles and Ann is helping patients and the handy guys are doing their thing. Keep up the great work everyone! Julie - what a gift that you were able to hold little Dafka and give her some much needed love. Praying for her and all of you.
