Day 1 in Bajja

So much happened ... an incredible amount of committment and hard work was shown by each and every member of the team. Two coats of paint on 4 classrooms.... this included filling and sanding, brushing an rolling. Charles and Lawrence from Fields of Life are organizing us most effectively!

The men worked hard starting on clearing the area for a football pitch...as the photo showed this is no easy task. we spent time with Rhoda making plans for the craft work with the women to start on Wednesday and the work with the children to begin tomorrow.

We met Moses (who gave the land) - it was great that he understood Adam's Swahili. He seems so willing and interested to continue support for the school.

Very specially the children preformed for us for an hour in song and dance in the afternoon to welcome us. The athmosphere is great - the children are adorable and the teachers are supportive and commtted. We are getting great support from Keith our Fields of Life representative and Patrick our driver - neither could be more helpful. The Fields of Life workers on site are really helpful.

We ask for your prayers for our health, our stamina, safety on the roads and especially for the work. May we build relationsips with the Bajja Community and may we sow mustard seeds that will grow and bless them. May our teaching be guided.

Please also pray for the links between those children already sponsored and the sponsors who will meet them and also for those whose hearts are being touched and are also looking for children to sponsor.
