One of the things we had an opportunity to do since we have been in Ethiopia was to connect with CHOIR (Canadian Humanitarian Organization for International Relief). There are many projects that they are involved in. One of them is Liga school. We had the chance to tag along while they delivered 136 pairs of shoes to preschool children. We were glad for those of you that donated shoes. We brought them along with us. Wesley and Chloe were very helpful with the kids. It was a neat dynamic to see them interacting with the children. I was surprised that I didn’t feel sad being there. I really felt that the kids had hope with attending school, receiving a daily meal and bonuses like newly needed shoes being provided. It was encouraging compared to some of the seemingly hopeless situations we have seen while being in Ethiopia. Most of all, these kids need Jesus. As you look at the pictures may you be prompted to pray for them and their families; for daily provision and eternal salvation.
Oh I ache to be there with you. And how true that these children need the real Hope.
ReplyDeleteAre you liking the cuddly wrap? I see you're using and so hope it's as great for you as I found it to be when we were in Ethiopia!
Keep sharing with us!
