En Jombre

That is the name of the village we are working in. Today we spent the day touring and playing. When we first got there they showed us around the new building and then around the village to some of the people homes that they are working with. They showed us girl after girl who was 12 or 13 and pregnant, whos mothers have encouraged them to get pregnant so someone would take care of them. the people with the foundation we are working with have set up great programs for these girls. one of which is to train them to cut and fix hair, and fingernails, so all of us had something done all the men and Betty had there hair cut and all the girls had there fingernails done. We also had VBS so we played and sang with the children and I think I can speak for most of us and say I am worn out. thanks for you prayers
God Bless,
Shane
