Today we loaded the car with our toys and gifts and went for a day at the school. They put together an "assembly". Several of the classes performed cultural dances and sang songs. This was the first time they did this in front of people from outside the school. Then, we brought in the gifts in and they were presented to teacher or students representing the different classes. The sporting equipment went over especially well. They have never had new sports equipment before. Sandi had also bought 4 dictionaries which we found out the school had none of.
We had also bought a sack of shoes for children that had none. Pastor Godfrey stumbled on a shoe market but had found that kids shoes were mixed in with adult shoes and they were somewhat expensive. However, a person at the market offered that if Pastor Godfrey came first thing in the morning (6am) they would let him dig out the kid's shoes and give them to him at a great price. This is about it for us. Tomorrow we will have a good-bye meeting with some of the students and friends here and then head to the airport for our flight home.
Thank you for keeping up with us on this blog. Your prayer support has been invaluable through this time. We will seen you soon.
Pastor Kurt, Robert, Sandi, and Erica.
