Windows and Fences

Friends,
Once we were there, the Skiles showed us several things they wanted us to fix up and wash while we were there.

First Mr. Helgesen washed the backboards of their basketball hoops. The children were often out on the court in the evenings and we were excited to be able to fix up the posts for them. In the evenings and on the weekend, the dads played basketball with some of the older boys and girls.

The Skiles also asked the dads to repair a broken fence that had gotten run into by a car. The dads got it fixed but it took some time to paint because it rained so much.

(the almost finished project)

We were also asked to clean the windows of the orphanage. Out of about 600 windows we finished roughly half. The children were very excited when we told them that we were working on cleaning the windows. Each night they would ask if we had cleaned their windows yet.



Thanks for reading!
