Christmas 2018 Trip
Before Christmas, thanks to many generous donations, funds were raised for the best Christmas present ever: 30 wardrobes to store the childrens’ clothes! We could also buy a milking cow and do some renovations in the house:
– The boys and girls dressing rooms
– Mama´s office and Visitors room
– Old existent furniture was restored: drawers, shelves and tables are now being used in the new offices.
We have learned how to use the tools and are extremely happy about the result of this dusty work. It was definitely worth it!!
Daniel is coming!
Very soon Daniel will be visiting Shalom!
