The Work Begins

We have another day completed here in Rwanda with many great things happening to praise God for. We started our day as usual with breakfast and team devotion time and then loaded up for the work site. This morning, as it will be for the next few, the women went to a local orphan’s program run by Simone Pierre. While there they invite all of the children to participate in a VBS program they prepared. Each night before we settle in for the night , we take time to share our experiences from the day. The one thing that coming up over and over was how excited the children became over a couple of crayons. To think something so small could do so much for a child is both humbling and exciting at the same time.

The men continued on the work of building the school house in the morning. It was amazing how much the local volunteers had accomplished in the evening before and how eager they were to return the next day. They were volunteering their time but were working as though they were getting paid top dollar! We accomplished a lot. The women joined us yesterday in the afternoon and were able to help with the construction but also were able to play games and sing songs with the tons of kids that gather around the worksite. I know you have heard it said and I guarentee I will say it again, but it is amazing how something so small as a high five or a hug can brighten up these kids even though we view them as having so little. They praise God in all things and it has really caused a lot of us to do some self inspection.

We are experiencing a lot of amazing and eye opening things while here in Rwanda. Everyone is well and we're already anxious to tell everyone about all of our adventures. Keep Praying!

Love,
Project Lov Rwanda Team
