Last One!
Thank you all for reading the blog, and for your support (prayers and financially) that made this trip possible! This has been an incredible group of students and adults, and I can't wait for you all to hear their stories.
WARNING FOR PARENTS:
Sometimes trips like these can lead to isolation, depression, and feelings of irritation for a few days after the trip because of the things we have experienced. Please be aware that these feelings are normal (leaving complete poverty and coming back to a life of abundance) for students and adults alike. Also, know that stories may not start coming out until each person is ready to share. Please be patient and sensitive to what your children are dealing with. When it is the right time...they will start sharing and talking for as long as you can handle it! : )
Please let me (Cliff) or Allie know if you are concerned or need help!

Malnutrition Center & Some Pics
Today our group went to the malnutrition center to play with, hold, and love 70+ children that have been orphaned or dropped off by parents that can't afford to feed them. The center is managed and maintained by only a handful of people, so the children often go without/or get very little attention (being held, hugged, and kissed) but ARE being fed and taken care of. Our group got to run around with, hug, and love on these kids almost all day long!! Some of the pictures are below: (more pictured coming tomorrow)
