Lives Changed

 

As we have observed the children over the last months it is very exciting to see the change in some of them.  Many read of Roman who arrived angry and uncooperative.  His "grandfather" had been telling him that he was going to a bad place where there were people who worshipped Satan and they would sacrifice him.  Well, he is now a happy boy with a ready grin.  He is quite talented artistically and strives to please.

 

Mary came, having had no schooling.  She is the older sister of the twins – Gift and Exuldah.  She is the oldest of all the children at our Village.  Mary was very insecure and felt intimidated by the other children who had been going to school the last few months.  However, as she has been in the older class, participating in our "hands on" approach to education, she is gaining confidence and joy.

 

As one person said who came and saw the children in school, "They are all so joyful."
