Meet Paris from Cyprus! Part 1

The children arrived in Simwaba again today to meet with a young man from Cyprus.  The high school boy named Paris raised funds to purchase clothes, shoes, footballs, and mealie meal for the children.  He met with them today and took pictures.  He will be taking these photos back with him to Cyprus to encourage more donors. 

It is always heart-warming to see young people making a difference in the world!!  This young man put a lot of smiles on the faces of the children.  Thank you, Paris!

By the way, the other man with the fooball jersey is Paris' uncle Nikki.  He was there to help Paris fulfill his mission.  They will be in Zambia until the 6th of September and then head back to Cyprus.  Have a safe trip!!  Thank you for thinking of our children!!

I have put a bunch of random photos in this preschool post.  These are photos that did not fit in with the previous posts because the items were either special ordered, packages received, or they are items the children did not pick up during their regular distribution time.  Enjoy!

You may notice that several unsponsored children have received gifts throughout this distribution.  Several of sponsors decided to provide a gift for a child that would not otherwise get one.  In return, you get to see how awesome these children are- and possibly decide to sponsor them =)

These little tikes received some Duplo blocks for learning.  These gifts are going to be extremely treasured since there are usually no toys in the home.  I am sure friends will come over to play blocks with them.  Missing from this post is Dailes #943 who did not attend distribution.
