gaby & kevin like to color now

Both Kevin & Gaby are shy.
Really, really shy.On our first visit to the village they were never apart and rarely joined our games and crafts.They just watched.And they never smiled —ever. On trip two, they played a little, but were still the most reserved kids in the bunch.

This visit was different.

Upon entering the village on day one, we called out their names from the cattle truck and waved hello. From that moment on, they were part of all that we did. Their smiles were huge, the giggles were infectious and joy had clearly begun to replace fear in their lives. That is the difference that love in the Lord’s name and a real hand out of poverty can make in two children’s lives.
