I didn't know this but the visitors came up with the idea to build a playground because they wanted to dedicate it to a girl who used to live at Coram Deo and just recently passed away. The had a very nice plaque made to put on the playground. The kids have barely been able to contain themselves as they watched the playground take shape over the last week and today will be the first time they can actually play on it!!! We are going to have a celebration/dedication ceremony this afternoon. The visitors made a HUGE pinata and several cakes for all the kids. We also put together 120 goody bags to send the kids home with. I think it will be absolute chaos, but a good chaos for sure. The visitors also painted a wonderful mural on one of the outside buildings. I will include several pictures in my photo album.
Yesterday we visited an organization called Double Harvest. This place is amazing. It has a church, school, vocational school, greenhouses, farm and amazing apartments for work teams that come to visit. It was great to walk around and see what can be accomplished with a lot of big thinking, hard work and the blessing of God. It was really inspirational to me.
Half of the visitors are leaving tomorrow to go back home but the other half are staying until next Thurs. It will be nice to slowly get back to normal. If they all left at once I think it would be too much of a shock:)
I have already put a few pictures in my photo album of the playground and will try to put a few more on today.
