Hanging out with the DTS outreach team from Jamaica. They're company has been such a blessing to me!
They helped build a bridge across a nearby canal that will facilitate tractors, making work more effecient for local famers.
Aneesha and Sam pose with children at Parika Public School where the team assisted in classes or just took over when the teacher failed to show up.
Here they are mixing cement to build the stairs to the second floor of our "new" building.
Amanda teaches one of our literacy club classes.
Johnny helps Avaseena read a book.
Julia assists with Vidya's class.
The children love to stick around and play cricket and tag after class.
Attendance has signifacntly increased in our literacy club since the Jamaica team arrived.
While the ladies had an evening Bible study, the men went cayman hunting. Winston caught this one with his bare hands. We kept him around for a few weeks and then released him to his home in the canal. We called him Stanely.
Expressing Jesus' love to young and old.
Half the team spent a day constructing 2 walking bridges for some elderly neighbours across the street from us while the rest of the team helped a local farmer clear some land to plant plantain.
Johnny and Aneesha enjoy refreshing coconut water after a morning of hard work.
It tastes SO good!
We had a few movie and testimony nights in some nearby communities.
Anneika makes new friends.
As I've been getting ready for my interior trip, I haven't had time to acquire more pics of our DTS graduation but here's one of me and students Vanessa and Amar at our final dinner. Graduation happened this afternoon and tomorrow morning I'm leaving early to fly to a village called Imbaimadai on the Mazaruni River. The Jamaica team has been there since last week helping in the school and church. I'm going up with supplies and an eager anticipation that I will see Jesus in those I meet and be a light for Him.
Having fun with my new hair. My friend Stacy spent about 12 hours braiding in the extensions. I never thought I could endure such an escapade but I ejoyed spending time with Stacy.
Thanks so much for staying in touch. There is much more to write but I really need to catch some zzz's as I leave at 6:15 tomorrow morning! Please pray for a safe journey to the interior.eM
