Bible, passport, work boots, gloves, hat.In a few short days, I, along with nine other members of our team, will be "leaving on a jet plane..." to Durban, South Africa, to help build a Community Center/Nursery called the "Center of Compassion Center." The Center of Compassion Center is located in Shongweni, South Africa and will provide a safe environment for the orphans of Shongweni. Most of the orphans have lost their parents to the AIDS pandemic and are being raised by their Aunts or Gogo's (grandmothers).
Now, imagine a place where a child can learn the Word of our Lord, have meals, learn a new skill for both child and adult, all in a safe, caring environment.
Share in our week long journey as I will post our day-by-day progress of the Center. We are ready to put "our faith in action" and help build the future, one child at a time!

ReplyDeleteHi Jen,
ReplyDeleteYou are a real trooper and a faithful woman! Your story and pictures are educational and I enjoyed them very much. Yes, one child...one soul at a time, we can all make a difference. Beverly
