Today Steven and Pastor Frank, transported people from the shoe store to measure the children for shoes. They need closed in shoes to prevent jiggers (insect that crawl inside there skin and lay eggs) They are very painful and distort the childrens feet. The shoes will provide protection.
A Contractor (my terminology) was also transported to the Orphanage to measure for windows, doors and floors. This will allow the teachers to leave their school supplies at school. (they have to carry them back a forth now). The floors will also help prevent the children from sitting in dirt while they are learning.
The next plan of action Pastor Frank is arranging a Doctor to come out to the school to check on the children. I will be provided a detailed report of each childs health needs. (I will be asking for support to meet these needs)
The children will also be measured for uniforms for school. (Many of the children are wearing the same outfit they had on last year when Pastor Doug, Todd and Dave visited them). We will also be providing them with draw string back packs to carry their supplies back and forth to school.
A BIG THANK YOU TO CHRISTINE FROM DANCE PLACE! She organized a fund raiser called Nourish the children which will be providing the orphans with a meal everyday for the next 30 days.
