Washing Time...Here you see how the kids wash their clothes. We soak the clothes for a few minutes in a bucket of soapy water and then we scrub the clothes with a brush laying it out on the floor. I am praying for God to bring in a large washing machine so that we can wash our clothes more economically and also save time and energy. 

Thank you Ruth Percival. Thank you for all the yards of fabric you have sent us. We are now getting our Tailoring school students to make outfits for our kids. God bless you. 

Only God's comfort can calm little hearts! 

A HUG says it all!

I conduct study every night 7p-10p. I use our large chapel for this. All 60+ kids sit in the same room on the floor. It would be nice to have desks, but we dont at th the present. The kids are seated by their grades and I check each kids home work and tutor them. I have help from 2 students from the bible college who have completed their 12th grade in mathematics and science. To get out of poverty these kids must study twice as hard as their middle class counterparts. At school the teachers show no interest in educating village kids. So we must educate them. Pray for all of us to see a great improvement at the end of this school year. God bless all you out there who pray and support this work.
