Thing are coming together really well for the trip. We have crafts and hygiene bags for 600 or more kids, filled with bouncy balls, toothbrushes and toothpaste, stickers, and more fun toys. It's great to think about blessing the children in a small way!We just got off the phone with the missionaries, and they are hoping to build a small house for one of the cooks of the feeding programs. This would be a one room, wooden house with a tin roof and a concrete floor. Very simple, but better than what this woman is living in now.
And the exciting part: We get to help! Even though we have little experience, we will wield our hammers and work hard to get four walls and roof up for this family.
The cost is relatively small: $1,300. But right now, we don't have much extra money since we kept the trip costs low. Please consider giving a little bit extra toward this project. Ask a few friends if they could donate $20 or $30 bucks. A little goes a long way (in fact, that's the theme of our VBS project!! "When you give what you have to God, no matter how small, it is always enough!")
Cash is the best form of donation right now, so close to the trip. But if someone would like to write a check, please make it out to Hearts for Heaven. Money can be delivered to Jesse & Kellye Schroeder 2406 Altenburg Ct. Grove City, OH 43123
The town of Villa Caneles, which is the area in which we would be building this house.
The work site from 2007
