During our August trip this year we were able to bless the families with new clothes, toys for the kids and 20 lbs of food.

Each time we visit the community we try to teach them something new about the promises of God and make a craft that they can keep as a reminder of the teaching we shared with them. The kids love making them and the adults like it even more. On this trip we taught them about angels.

During our December trip we blessed the community with 1700lbs of beans and rice. That was 10lbs of beans and rice for each family. Additionally, we blessed each family with a new bucket and lid to store their water.

We had to carry all the food bags from the bottom of the hill to our distribution area. Many of the families pitched in and helped us carry the bags to the top.

We also blessed the men with new baseball style hats which they love to receive.

This was a great Christmas blessing for our families.

Our 2018 Operation Education program was blessed to provide uniforms (pants/skirts, shirts, shoes, socks) backpacks and school supplies to 112 kids this year.

In these pictures the black bags contain the uniforms and the smaller bags contain the school supplies. Several parents had to take their picture in place of their students because the kids were practicing for their graduations.

Santa Claus came early this year and blessed each child with an age appropriate toy/gift.

To celebrate another successful school year we had a pinata and thanks for Kelli the kids got their face painted and received balloon animals.

This year was the first year I was able to attend the Pre School Graduation.

It was a honor to see all the kids celebrate a milestone in their lives.

It was also a honor to see that the top student of the class was from my community as well as the stop students in every subject was also from my community.

I walked away a very proud momma..

This was the first time I was able to attend the middle school graduations since the program started. I has 14 students graduate from middle school.

At the graduation the school has the top student of the future graduating class attend and that student is from my community.

Also for the graduating class the top student was also from my community. She is the girl in the last picture.

It was an exciting year for these students. I am very proud of them.

There were only 4 students this year graduating from High School.

Like the other grades, the top student was also from my community.

The first picture shows the top student of the future graduating class who is accepting the keys to the school that represents the keys to her future. She too is from my community.

Each year that I add new kids to the program I try hard to visit their homes and meet their families.

These are some of the new kids for this school year.
