Today we went back to a community in Brazil that we had been to earlier in the week.
We passed out many things, but the favorite of the children was beautiful gift bags put together by
The Red Bird Project.
Each bag contained either a new dress for girls or outfit for boys with matching purse or other treats!
This community has a big ditch that runs along its base. Many people live along this ditch that has raw sewage running in it. Alongside the ditch is a soccer field (and I use the term loosely).
The organization that we partner with goes into this community at least twice a week, doing home visits, and conducting Bible Studies and children’s activities. They have been doing the children’s events on the makeshift soccer field for years. There is broken glass everywhere, and many of the children come barefoot.
This community needs a church, a place to hold children’s activities. They need a safe place for children to learn about Gods word. They have found a place that could easily be converted into such a place, but it will cost $40,000.
