After 3 months of working to get the property ready, Masana has finally moved to its new home....my house! The new area is complete with 2 separate classrooms, a kitchen, a shelter for meals and church services, showers, a station for washing clothes, and a room for temporary housing.
On MOnday, we had a party to celebrate Masana's new home! A couple of the leaders from the community came and gave speeches welcoming Masana to the neighborhood. We were a bit worried about how the transition would go as its a bit farther for the boys to walk each day. But it hasn't even been an issue as we've had over 25 boys each day so far this week!!! Now we just need a bigger pot for cooking rice to feed that many!!!

this is the shelter where we eat meals together and have our church service each day.

Are you trying to get me back over for a visit or something? All these changes just make my spirit leap and make me feel like I need to see the changes for myself.

Sarah - I remember back when I questioned why you didn't get into Education Program. I remember thinking that there was no other career choice for you except education. I remember feeling so sorry for you because I KNEW education and children were your passion. I loved reading your latest blog - I think back to that time when I questioned God - man, He sure knows what HE'S doing. Love you and you amaze me beyond words. R Hill
This makes me so excited! I can't wait to be there!!
