FROM “BUSH BUNNY BRENDA“ DATE: DECEMBER 18, 2021 HELDER GRADUATES TEACHERS SCHOOL! Helder is the first of our youth to get into and graduate from a school of higher learning! We are so, so proud of him. Helder on graduation day. As I write, Helder is on his way back to Balama with our 4 staff members who attended his graduation. I stayed with the other 57 children as they had a visit this a.m. from 2 companies who brought lots of goodies for them. (See story below). What’s next for Helder? He will start the application procedure to get a job with a School District hopefully in Balama District or a District nearby. Helder is now qualified to teach 1st to 7th grades. PRAY! For he needs “divine intervention” as the other 224 graduates are also looking for jobs. A very competitive situation for sure but we serve a God whose specialty is moving mountains! Yummy food gifts from CIS and Twigg companies. GRAPHITE MINE GIFTS GOODIES TO OUR CHILDREN Two companies (CIS AND Twigg, who are both part of the Graphite Mine just 6 miles from us) gifted us with 160 sack lunches, rice, milk, cereal, cooking oil, pasta, and 80 kgs/176 lbs. of 2 different kinds of frozen meat. What a treat! Every child received a sack lunch with a sandwich, chips, apple, and fruit juice. Our friend who is hosting our freezer full of Christmas chickens, kindly allowed us room in his large freezer to put 75% of the meat. The rest we distributed to each of our homes for a fun supper tonight, as it was beef balls that were frozen solid! The other items will be given out next week. The kids were in awe of their yummy sack lunches. God never ceases to surprise us as we made new friends today, who hopefully can help our teenagers, both boys and girls, with technical training. More on that next year. GOD IS GREAT, AND GREATLY TO BE PRAISED! A MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOU DO THROUGH PRAYER AND LOVE GIFTS SO OUR CHILDREN CAN EXCEL IN WHAT GOD HAS FOR THEM TO DO. BLESSINGS BUSH BUNNY BRENDA LANGE AND THE BALAMA STAFF |
