Today was a really good day. I could not have asked any more from the PYP kids. They worked their tails off. They not only sanded the entire house but also scrubbed the kitchen, bathrooms and even the outside walls. The work was hard, hot and tedious. They did not complain or stop working. I can tell you that after spending some time with Generation Z, I now have hope for our future. These kids are not afraid to work. They are multi-taskers and doers. I doubt that house has looked this good in years. I was pleasantly surprised by the condition of the house. It is nice. With just a bit of elbow grease it is going to be a real home for these kids.
We have a huge list of things that still need to be done before next week’s painting party. This multi-tasking type A personality is in hog heaven. I can hardly wait to get started making the list. The families at the Chevron camp have really stepped up to help out. Just thinking of their generosity makes me tear up. I think we are going to have a big group there next Saturday. Families are volunteering to adopt rooms and there is even talk of holding an orphanage shower. How cool would that be? Next step for us, God willing, will be helping them set up a sponsorship program.
God has answered our prayers in amazing ways. He is providing for these kids in ways I could not have even imagined. Lives are changing. Hearts are softening. To God be the Glory! Thank you so much to all of you who are involved in this project. I will forever be grateful for all that you have done to help the kids of Insan Permata.
