Day 2 in Belize
Tuesday, July 29th, 2008Enjoy the pictures of our group of Girlfriends as we begin our day (looking cool on the beach) and various members of the team as they take on their tasks for the day (not feeling quite so cool). To explain our duties (along with our leadership in the Vacation Bible School program) – we have a team of ladies doing organizational tasks to help the school prepare for the next school year – filing and sorting supplies – sounds easier than it is what with crowded conditions and the heat. Another team of Girlfriends have bravely taken on painting of classrooms (definitely a much harder task than it sounds – limited supplies and equipment plus the heat really intensifies these tasks). Amusing moments occur often as we undertake these “out of our comfort zone” projects. The picture of Jessamy, Valorie and Kelsey is a snapshot of our innocent flubs (the fingers indicate how many Girlfriends it takes to work so intensely to remove nails from a door only to find out that the door was nailed shut to prevent people from falling into the swamp – ha)! Day 2 found us falling more in love with a group of Belize children. Vacation Bible School doubled in size from yesterday, largely due to the incredible program that our team has put together. Yes…Sandra, Sheila and Shondrah have fabulous hats to entertain the kids! AND…most importantly of all – lives are being changed. See the classroom of children with their teachers (Nancy, Shelly & Demetra) – by the end of VBS today – the entire class had confessed Christ! Just our second day in Belize – what will the end of the week hold? Stay tuned!
