Nearly done (for now!)

We only have a couple of mins, so here goes:

Yesterday (Wed), the team visited a street kids project, comprising an accommodation block and primary school. It arose as a result of the compassion of a remarkable woman called Flavia (Mama Flavia to the kids). This gracious woman would walk the streets of the towns at night and establish a realtionship with the kids. The most needy she took home. Fields of Life took this work to heart and bought 50 acres of land on which the aforementioned buildings were constructed. There are now 78 kids, 49 of whom have sponsorsip. 39 of them are orphans. The team really valued meeting the teachers, but especially the kids. Considering their upbringing (eating from the rubbish dumps and sleeping in the sewage drainage pipes in town) there has been a tremendous work done in their lives. It was humbling experience.

Today, the team are planning to rest a perhaps visit town to see the shops (retail therapy??). It's possible this will be the last update before leaving, but we may get a moment later tonight...

God bless,
