more from Guyana

Today is the day...in another 2 hours, we'll kick off the party that essentially culminates the year (or so) of planning, fund-raising, praying..that have been done for these 26 kids (and their families).

I can't wait to come back and report on the mighty work today...even as great work has already taken place as we met individually with kids and their parents and got to know them in the past two days. My heart is seriously full. Like seriously. I think of the kids, now that I can put faces with names (and personalities) and I grin...there is no pity here. These kids and families are resilient. They are hopeful. They are fighters. We have come to remind them, that their fight is not in vain. That there are people out there who care..above all that, they have a heavenly Father who cares even more! woooooooooo

Okay...here are some pics from last night as I lost a couple pounds sweating to put these backpacks together. ;)

some empty backpacks

supplies

Schantal stuffing pencil cases

shoes

stuffed bags

We were packing the stuffed backpacks (sans uniforms) into suitcases for transport to the school house and I will say...those are some heavy bags. Schantal commented that it felt like the miracle feeding in the Bible because we had sooooooo much (of everything)...it seriously wasn't running out!!! Praise Jesus!
