WWW

This week we are on vacation, but last week we had Week Without Walls. It was our first time, and what a blessing! The whole purpose of WWW is to teach the kids (at BAIS) to serve. To that end, there were probably about 10 activities the students could join-everything from Habitat for Humanity to painting a mural at the army base.

I was part of a group that went out to build a hand washing station for a local school. The school has two faucets in a back room. That's the extent of the water they have available for the kids. We ran some pipe, electricity, and installed a water pump to provide 10 faucets where the kids could wash their hands and feet. It was such a blessing to work with the staff and students. The kids did an awesome job, and never complained! It was a blessing to see the faces of the local school kids as they saw running water come out of the faucets.
What's really cool though is that some of our students want to come back and play soccer with the kids throughout the rest of the year. Our group seems to have bonded with the kids at the school and they don't want to have this be a one time deal. God's working on their hearts and teaching them to serve! Mission accomplished.
