We have a team of 5 college students from Simpson University in Redding California with us this week. They have been a HUGE blessing to us and the families we work with. We hope you like the pictures of some of what they have been doing.
The team has been preparing the ground for vegetable gardens at three different homes. Once completed the gardens will be 4x5 meters in size and will produce spinach, cabbage, beans, carrots, and beet root.
One of the biggest challenges at one of the sites was the rocks. This home is on the side of a mountain and it took two days of labor to get all the rocks out. The family helped out the whole time and it was great for everyone to work together. This garden will have to have a fence and mesh covering to keep the monkeys out.

On Saturday we had a one day VBS for the kids. The jumping castle was a big hit.
The kids heard several Bible stories and got to make several crafts like these lion masks. It was a lot of work for the team, but so much fun. We had 65 kids with on Saturday.
The kids got to have their faces painted and loved the attention. The team will get to spend one more afternoon with the Phokeng children this week.
One day at the Shelter was spent loving the babies and helping organize some storage areas.
It is always so great when teams come. The babies love the attention they receive and it's always fun for the grown-ups too.

Yay! It's so good to see what the Simpson team is doing to help out there! We're so proud of these young women and this young man. We are praying for them daily. May the Lord bless you all and may he receive the glory and praise!
Derek & Rebecca,
Thank you SO much for posting these pics! I'm a back-home Mom (Aubrey) and it is WONDERFUL to get a glimpse of the team serving. May God multiply their efforts to bless each recipient! My prayers are with you all. Please give Aub a hug for me :). Thanks again, Susie
