Magic

This is Vasco. He is a refugee from the Congo who has recently been displaced from the devastating effects of over two decades of civil war. He is a new student at Hope Primary, and he has come to school a week early, prepared, and excited that here at Hope he can have some peace and stability to learn like the rest of us.

Vasco and all the other students that are starting to return are amazed at the changes that have been made over the holiday. I have said before that the generosity that has been shown through Mollie and me from back home acts like magic here. You can't really explain how it happens. We can simply thank God together that he has listened to the prayers of this community.

Helping our fellow man...Priceless.

"I can't imagine what a difficult yet rewarding experience this has been. You are so lucky to be a part of such progress. There is nothing greater than serving your fellow man. Congratulations on choices well made. I hope you continue to grow personally and together. May God bless you and continue to open your eyes to the realities of our world. I hope 2010 brings countless new opportunities to better our world."
