Today was the last day of our 2 week camp at the TB Children Center.
For friends and family who are worried about our location: this is a place where kids who have been exposed to TB come to be checked and go through a 3-6 month treatment to make sure that they do not have the disease. No child is contagious.
Yesterday afternoon we were given a chance to visit a baby orphanage where kids from age two to seven stay until they are adopted or transferred to an orphanage for older kids.

One week of ministry is now completed. We are tired, but so moved by how God has moved in our work. The kids are great to work with. They do everything we ask them to do and more. It is difficult to get away at the end of the day because they want to tell you bye and give us high five’s multiple times.
