Friday

Today was a great day - we were very productive.  We started to work on the gift assembly part of our job.  We were able to pack over 650 bags today.  We are filling their bright green backpacks with notebooks, sugar, sardines, coffee, crayons, candy, cookies and rice.  They will also each receive a new cup and bowl to keep at the school for lunch.
We also were able to pass out a lot of mail today.  It is one of the best jobs here to hand out mail to the orphans.  I was able to see several sponsored by people in my church:

Gloria - sponsored by John and Carolyn Carmean
 Naphtalie - sponsored by Brad and Mary Gentille.  (Her sister, Dorcas, that they also sponsor, broke her shoe on the way to school - so she was absent.  I hope to see her Monday.)


 Placidie - sponsored by our VBS Penny Parade

Cassandra - sponsored by Jeff and Brenda Smith

Kosse - sponsored by Gene and Jan Gratz
