We are very grateful to our brother Geof who was able to represent us recently at The Salvation Army children's home in handing out brand new school bags to all the children who call it home.
In the lead up to Christmas we decided this year that we would fund raise for new backpacks for the children we minister to.
Due to the fact that many of them go back to the village to have time with friends or extended family over the Christmas break we told them at the Christmas party that they wouldn't get their Christmas gifts until school went back ( we didn't want any bags to go missing in the journey home etc)
We are so grateful to all those in Australia who helped us raise enough money for approximately 40 backpacks.
We are so grateful as are the children - many of them would never had a new bag before.
Check out some of the photos below of one of the groups of children receiving their new bags.
