Delivering Gifts to the Orphanage

Well, after months of planning, shopping and having things made...we finally delivered the gifts to the orphanage. What a blessing you are to these children! Thank you for allowing me to do this ministry with you. It was completely awesome!

A few months ago, we asked the orphanage director what the orphanage needs were. She had mentioned at that time they didn't have a table and the kids ate on the floor all the time. She also mentioned the water filter was broken so they weren't able to have clean, filtered water. The other main issue the orphanage had was they had to walk really far with all the kids to get to the nearby school playground and was looking for big toys they could play with in the orphanage on days they couldn't walk to the playground.

So, we had a wood table and bench custom made. We wanted the table to be made with round corners but it also needed to be sturdy and strong so it wouldn't knock over easily. We also had 2 rocking bears made for the toys so the children can play in the orphanage. Then, we shopped for the water filter, milk, rice and baby formula.

And finally today we delivered it to the precious children. I am thankful for my friend Christa who helped organize ordering and getting the supplies. I am also thankful for my friend, Melissa for joining us on the delivery of the items. Thank you, partners for all of your help supporting these children too!
