Happy Wednesday Morning!

Good Morning All!!! It's been a few days since the team has last updated the blog. Power and Internet are sometimes rare commodities around here. To catch everyone up to date since Sunday night, we will go through this day by day. Here goes...

Monday - We went back to the church at Rugare. Like mentioned before, this is the place where around 50 kids hang out during the day because they can't afford school fees. While we were there, we introduced the children to play dough (whoa....that was interesting...), colored pictures, sang songs, had face-painting, and then helped serve around 150-200 children at the feeding station. Later that evening, the team then went to Runyararo - another home connected to the organization. The children made name bracelets, decorated visors and created their own journals. A polaroid camera was brought so that the children could have their very first picture of their own. Oh how they loved it! It was so much fun watching them look at the pictures for the first time and then telling them that it was theirs to keep!

Tuesday - Again, we spent our morning at the church feeding station at Rugare. Then that evening we went to another home - Glen Norah. We made salvation bracelets (the kind where each bead represents something concerning the road to salvation), journals, polaroid pictures and sang songs. At each home we have had the opportunity to present each child with a gift bag containing: pencils, bouncy balls, bubbles, crayons, coloring pages, kazoos, stickers, and a hodgepodge of other items. It feels like Christmas at every home we enter!

It is early Wednesday morning and we have stopped at the Hands of Hope Headquarters to catch up on e-mail and blogging before we go back to the church at Rugare and then later to visit another home this afternoon.

Please remember to keep us in your prayers as we continue to be the hands and feet of Jesus.
