The strikes in the slums last week only lasted a day... praise GOD! So we were able to get in there last Wednesday and again today.
We are helping revise their curriculum which has become a challenging task, but with Vinita as a wonderful translator and God's wisdom we are excited to take on the challenge!
Last week we observed the different classrooms, but today we were able to teach. We did a craft, an english lesson (thank you Shaney!) and we ended with a song. So much fun! They also receive a snack each day along with vitamins a few times a week.
Please keep these children in your prayers! These programs are giving them a very rare opportunity; not only a chance for a brighter future here on this earth, but a chance to know Christ and to live for Him.
Also, we are holding a training day at the end of the month for all teachers to come and learn how to use the new curriculum. So please keep that in your prayers as well.
As for the rest of our time here we have been visiting the foster homes which take in abused and abandoned children from the streets. These Christian families are doing an amazing job helping these children to recover from past trauma and ease them back into society through education, family outings, and church.
In just these few weeks God has shown me so much of what it means to be a servant and I am excited to learn even more in the coming months!
In the picture is Vinita showing the kids how to do the craft.
In the second one I am playing musical chairs with the kids at a different slum location.

These children look beautiful and amazing. They are truly blessed to have you there. Please tell them all that they have people here that are praying for them and love them. We have you on our minds and in our hearts every moment.
