Gifts for our new friends
These shots are at a group home for war refugees, both kids and the elderly. We had the privilege of supplying all the residents there with winter jackets. Children and adults are now prepared for the winter months. Of course, winter there is relative to their climate.
Precious children...
These kids were singing us songs after we handed out the coats. The real situation is that they would have sung us songs whether we brought them coats or not. The joy these children have in spite of their situation is humbling and a real testimony of God's grace to them.
Weaving skills
One of the most distinctive characteristics of the Karen is their weaving. It is commonly done on these big looms. It is very complex and time intensive. But the fabrics are incredible both for the complex patterns and colors but also for the quality. This young man recently had open heart surgery. The sale of items woven there helps supply the financial needs they have.
Breakfast time!!
This little girl's Mom has AIDS and palsy, but still loves and cares for her little girl, but she gets help. The kids at this facility are well cared for, they get food, clothing, shelter, schooling and most importantly they get love.
Love those kids!!
The kids at this home really loved just playing around and climbing all over us. Most of these kids are orphans whether by fact or circumstance. This is one of our team members, Andrew. The little guy with the green jacket and the big smile has AIDS.
Friends for life...
These guys are such good friends. The young man on the right had open heart surgery, the friend he is hugging is blind.
Heart melting...
The kids here just melt your heart...
