2 Weeks to go to Ethiopia!

Supplies collected from St. Joseph Christian students!

This week will be jam-packed as we begin packing all of the supplies we've been collecting the last few weeks! Many of you have asked what our specific goals are for this trip, so here they are!
  • Creating a library for the kids at Kind Hearts School
  • Painting murals for Kind Hearts to brighten the space
  • Creating a library for the kids at Trees of Glory
  • Distributing 225 goodie bags for the kids at Kind Hearts & Trees of Glory
  • Delivering sponsor letters to Kind Hearts kids
  • Distributing goodie bags to the patients at the Fistula Hospital
  • Ministering to the street kids through the Soccer Ministry
  • Checking on progress of our clean water well (Partnership with Children's HopeChest & St. Joseph Christian School--YIPPEE! More than $24,000 raised last year, smile smile!!)
These are our main goals--mixed in of course with lots of hugs, playtime and overall volunteer work as needed! We know that God will be glorified in all we do and stand firm knowing that HE is standing with us in all situations! Thank you to all who have donated to this trip-literally from coast to coast...you are with us even if you can't be in Africa with us physically!

More later!
