Hi blogging friends,
I just wanted to let everyone know that earlier this week I sent off 50 handmade books to Abundant Ground for the Croix des Bouquets orphanage!
A big thank you to everyone who participated in the project!-
Including a local girl's camp that finished it all off!
The week before the girl's camp, a different service project fell through for them. The camp leaders contacted me and asked me if the Haiti project might work well as a last minute substitute.
(Tatiana, the girl's camp leader)
We scrambled about to get printing prices at local stores and we rounded up scissors and sewing machines for groups of 30+ girls. We got the service underway and I am so excited about the results.

The girls did great cutting, gluing and sewing.
For many of the girls, it was their first time learning how to use a sewing machine. But we had a couple of expert seamstress help out and everything turned out great.
I was so grateful to see the girls put in so much effort!
And I am so grateful for the outcome!
The girl's were so willing and they were all so fun to be with.
Such a beautiful spirit was there.
Again, I feel like the Lord had a hand in this project, making everything work out.
I will share any follow-up report I get from Stephanie Victor.
Again, thank you to everyone who contributed to the service project!
I had so much fun doing the drive, I'd totally do it again!

I hope, CK, you are doing well and hanging in there with respect to deployment. One day at a time, and one day closer to the end. :)

You're amazing, CK!
