Thank-youfor letting me help
The fact that I got to help with this amazing experiance not only gave me a new appriciation for all the hard work that everyone puts into the journey every single week but also I got to give back. Being apart of this broke my heart into a million pieces because I felt it was so raw…. it reconfimed my committment to Landagon in Zimbobwee and Nicole in Mexico. I wanted to sponsor a third child but am not sure if I can, one thing is for sure though, I can never turn away like I did befor and say
” I didn’t know” or “there’s nothing I can do” because there is something I can do and I am doing it. I am so proud to be apart of the journey church because of their efforts in really helping others. I have even been a recipiant of that help and now I had a chance to repay it back….THANK-YOU!!!! People ask me why I don’t just go to a church that is closer to my house, I tell them “because Journey is now my family church….I wouldn’t want it any other way!!!!!!!” Way to go Journey- you did it again!!! :)

The children
While thinking about this project it struck me for the first time that these children actually watch their parents die. I had never really processed that the fact that these children see every stage of the process and have no place to escape to in their one room huts. That breaks my heart. I am so glad that World Vision decided to do something specifically for these children and that we got to be the first ones to build kits for this pilot project.
