PARAsitos

Wooo, it has been a crazy week. We have. Team up here from IV Canada and a team from Greenville Illinois and they've been totally fantastic. At my site, the child sponsorship site
, we've just about finished the eye tests on all 179 kids, the majority of which will need to see the doctor for an exam. Most of the children at the school in el gorrion are very malnourished, their skin in is pasty, they wear the same ripped clothing every day and they receive very little to eat. The school provides them with a cup of mosh each day, which is basically rice milk and for some of the kids, they may not get more than that. Still the children are filled with joy and laughter and they wrap their little arms around us whenever they see us. It's been such a blessing to see kids like that every day. Yesterday we handed out vitamins for the year to the first 79 kids, si is providing for all the kids, even
the unsponsored ones. I hope that will make a differnce in imrpoving their health. The sponsored kids receive presents every birthday and christmas, they receive school supplies, most of their tuition in paid, their uniform, 80% of their medical bill and dental. Si b
does home visits to check on the kids and provides so much one on one support, it's really tremendous. I keep thinking about the sketchy guy from world vision on tv and wondering what their program provides for kids worldwide. Now I'm here and I'm seeig the benefits occur first hand and it's pretty awesome. God has made a lot possible here.
