photos - various - part 1

Sometimes we are stopped in traffic on the streets and people come up to beg. This man was begging for money and I talked with him about his situation. He has been attending classes for a refrigeration technician and not having tools is blocking him. I told him that we would help him with tools and that he can then have the tools to do more than beg on the streets. Pray for this man. That he can support his family.
Tim, Bill, Dan, and Greg came for a visit to Coram Deo and they brought along a duffle bag of soccer jerseys. They are special soccer jerseys of European Division I soccer teams. You can see from this photo that the jerseys are high in demand. Everyone picked out a jersey from their favorite team: Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United, etc.
It was serious business and they were all looking for the right jersey!
Here's a team photo with a Thank You sign for the donor of the soccer jerseys. You made a lot of people happy with this gift! Notice Reginald off to the right wrapped in a towel on the far left. He wanted to make sure he got a jersey. When I first looked at the photo it sort of looked like Reginald was wearing a skirt!
We visited Paulna's village in the countryside. The people who live in the village of Bonnette survive on farming. They work hard.

Hi Karen! It is good to see photos and updates on Bonnette. Were you able to visit Rachel's family? Did Marie have her baby? Is he/she healthy? Were you able to deliver the photos album I left in April? I would love an update. Thanks!
