Both community development fundraisers have come to an end. In the "donation of slightly used shoes" project we reached our goal of 150 pairs, and then exceeded it in abundance. The shoes were delivered by 10 WNS students to kids in Sinai slum on March 20th. We spent time walking through the slum, interacting with kidos, and sharing about God's love. I am proud of my students, that they had open hearts to work hands on with the less fortunate in our surrounding area.
And... thanks to several of you at home, we are sending 166 Mitumba slum children to VBS (Vacation Bible School) at the end of April. Our original goal was to receive 200 sponsorships, but what we achieved is fabulous. To send one child it was roughly 25 dollars, meaning that we raised over 4,ooo dollars all together. Once we get back from Spring break, WNS high school students will start to prepare lessons/activities to share over the week long camp. I also want to thank our partner organization, Christian Mission Aid, in helping our projects to be successful.

What a great God we serve! That is awesome about the shoes! And it is really amazing that you were able to raise that much money for the VBS! I am really excited about that and literally cannot wait to hear about the camp and how God is going to continue to pour out His blessings on the kiddos that get to go and you and your students as well as you get the enormous privilege of loving on those little ones. I know I said I was jealous about the football match, but I am really jealous of this. Sometimes I think that it would be nice for you to be back here, but a lot of times I think that it would be amazing for me to be there. This is one of those times. Go get 'em!
