BIG
Day today for 10 children of the Makimei Orphanage! Their first day
in school!!! Its impossible to describe the beaming faces when they
heard that they are allowed to go to school! Filled with pride and
joy they showed me the new school uniform. Josef,, snuggled up to me
and whispered “thank you and bless you for it”. He is 11 years
old and never went a day to school. He was overjoyed. The excitement
in the house yesterday reminded me on Christmas Eve. Amazing! The
generous gift of several friends and neighbors made it possible to
send all eligible children for one year to school. The school
principle extends her thanks to all the donors who made it possible,
not only do you make a difference in the lives of 10 children but
also of all the other children in the school.
I
went to school early in the morning to be part of the first day of
the children classes and to take some pictures. Now everybody refers
to me as “Mama Maria” and all the children are
“unofficially”mine! It was a wonderful day, with much reason to
praise God for His kind provision. Thank you all who gave so
generously! Maria

This is so very exciting that so many kids can go to school. What a special young man to send blessings your way. This must have been a great day for Mama Maria!
