For Well Being

Yesterday we had an amazing day with the kids at Well Being. We spent the whole day there. In the morning, there were about 12 kids and then at noon, the rest got home from school. We did the rain stick/music instrument shaker craft with them and made jewelry. They loved it and used up an entire case of beads. Even the momma who cares for all of them was into the jewelry making. It was so cute. The kids love having their picture and video taking and then looking at it. They had so much fun doing that. And then we brought out the soccer balls and they started playing. It was a great day. I love those kids. I would describe Well Being as an orphanage with much love but limited resources. We're going shopping at the market today to get lots of food to stock them up for awhile. We also need to refill or replace their propane tank for cooking and try to find something that Julian, one of our team members, can use to fix one side of their tent that has fallen down. It's in rough shape and all 30 kids live in this tent. It's falling apart, leaking and now a side has fallen in. Praying something can happen soon to get them a more sturdy structure that doesn't leak. We don't get to hang out with kids today but it's an equally important part of the trip cause there's so much need. Well Being was down to the last little bit of rice and are out of propane, dish soap, butter and so many other food items. Children Household of tomorrow now has power thanks to another ministry that's helping them and they requested fans cause it gets so hot for the kids at night in the hot months. We'll see if we can find some today. The only tricky part is fitting all of us, plus all the supplies in the tap tap. We may have to make several trips. Praying for a productive day where we find everything on the list to be able to bless these orphanages.
