Today we visited the Pillars of Hope ministry. The children gather on the weekends to sings songs, learn about the bible, and spend time with one another. They had a short program prepared us. They did a fantastic job. Most of the children live close to the meeting place. Some of the children live too far away to walk there and are provided with transportation. Forty-five children are served through this ministry.
Godfrey (on left) started the ministry. A man named Peter currently works with the children each week. The man on the right was visiting from Tennessee. His name is Kirk. Kirk has established a website for Pillars of Hope and is busy setting up a nonprofit organization so that individuals will be able to sponsor a child served by this ministry. The children need funds for school fees and uniforms.
Kari showing Godfrey a mat made from plastic grocery bags. The bags are woven into a rug. They could be used for women giving birth as they are antibacterial. A group from the US sends these over to the Segners to distribute.
Jason brought medical equipment to treat the children of Pillars of Hope. One little girl may have a broken foot. She may get taken in for x-rays next week.
Karson had fun playing with the kids. Just a little bit dirty.
