We have just experienced twenty days of "almost heaven". Once again, WV came through and sent us a great team of workers. This particular association has been supporting us for many years, sending us a summer "m" worker to MT in 2002, the same summer "m" worker to the Mainland in 2006, eight workers to the Mainland in 2008, four workers to our little island in 2009, and six workers to our little island this summer.
Four of the six were "newbies" to our little island; so, of course, we initiated them with a traditional trip to the hot pot restaurant.
The shepherd of the group is also an artist. So, he used his talent to draw and tell the C2C story fourteen times in six days.
He shared in elementary, junior high, and university classrooms; private homes; our little national clubhouse; parks; and apartment complex courtyards.
Everywhere he shared, he was well received. Many heard HIStory for the first time. Several were very interested and asked lots of questions.
Some accepted, including a father of 4 teenagers, a grandmother, and our 13 year old neighbor.
We could not have done it without the help of co-workers, national brothers and sisters, and lots of translators.
Then, it was on to English Camp #1 and English Camp #2. Again, doors were opened into public schools through national brothers and sisters.
The highlight of English Camp is always the recreation time, including basketball, football, and other games.
As always, we used holidays to share the C2C story: Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, and Valentine's.
Special thanks to everyone who helped gather supplies. The children really enjoyed craft time.
We even recruited co-workers to help us tell HIStory. It was literally "all hands on deck" as we shared with about 75 children in English Camp #1 and about 100 children in English Camp #2.
Each child was given several gifts to tell HIStory: a copy of the BOOK, a coloring book, a comic book, and a dvd. Please ask that the children will use these items at home to share HIStory with their family and friends. May the seeds that were planted quickly come to harvest.
