Gamasara Night

I spent my first night at Gamasara last night. The kids are amazing! They take so much pride in their new home. It's great to see the maturity they're showing, seeing things that need to be done and taking the initiative to do it. The shamba is yielding tomatoes now, with lots of other vegetables soon to follow.

Our staff really has stepped up to the plate, too. The kids get up at 5:00, and many are on the way to school by 6:00. They insist on keeping this schedule even on non-school days. They get up, straighten their rooms, wash and dress. On Saturdays, they work in the shamba for 3 hours before breakfast. The rest of the day is free. Sunday afternoons are set aside for big cleaning jobs. Every evening from 7:00-9:00 and every morning from 5:00-6:00, the generator runs. Just before lights out, one of the Angels lead the group in a devotion.

I know I'm prejudiced. These are my grandchildren, after all, but I think these kids are on the path God has planned for them. Best of all, three of the kids who were major behavior problems in town have really turned over a new leaf at Gamasara. I thank God for answered prayers!
