Running in Flip-Flops

Our friend, Dori, came to visit from Washington state for three weeks. She's a teacher and coach, so she started a running program with several of our children. Almost all of the kids have been on at least one run, and several of them keep coming back for more. You can tell from the smiles on their faces that they really enjoy it. Near the end of Dori's time here, we held a "Flip-Flop 3K" race for the kids. We invited the community to come cheer them on, and we had an awards ceremony for the top five male and female finishers. Keep an eye out, you might see one of these kids in the olympics some day!

New Desks for School

Our children were thrilled when the team from Wildwood Baptist Church, GA built two new desks for their school. Several of the children at Nyaduong Primary school sit on the floor, because the school is unable to afford desks for all its pupils. While the team was building the desks at The Hope Centre, children from preschool through second grade were crowded around watching their progress and asking to which class the desks would be going. It was cute to see how excited they were about getting a new school desk. Can you imagine an American child being excited about a desk for school? It's amazing to learn the things we take for granted. These children teach us something everyday.
