The First Forty Six Backpacks

Friday the first forty six backpacks were delivered. We delivered them to Manos Felices, the school for the deaf. Manos Felices is also a ministry and is dependent on donations. They were more than happy to receive backpacks for everyone that will be attending school next year. The children, the teachers, and Marc and I were excited about this. A couple of congressmen went with us. The teachers, the congressmen and I were all flashing cameras as fast as we could. The congressmen did not even know about this school and are eager to be of assistance in other ways.


I just can't say it enough times, thanks for these backpacks. You do not know what a difference it makes to those who can't afford to buy school supplies for their children.

How exciting to see the backpacks in the hands of these precious children! Their smiles are the only "sign" needed to know that God uses every gift - even paper and pencils - for His purpose!

Thank you for sharing these pictures and helping us "see" the fields that are white for harvest!
Much love!
