Shopping for School Uniforms

I had the honour of accompanying Jenn Jestes and 14 of her children to purchase school uniforms for them today. They all needed a shirt and pants. Cost of about $20/child. They were all so well behaved whilst waiting their turn, but so excited to try the clothes on and be handed their two items!

We had to walk a few blocks along a very broken, muddy footpath. I took great delight in holding their previous little hands as we crossed the major intersections. Trying to speak in what little Portuguese I know.

I just can't imagine what it would have been like for each and everyone of these children, to have been lost, abandoned or abused. They are so lucky to have Jenn and Mikey and the other generous people who have come into their lives to help and care for them. I feel privileged to be a part of it.

Please go on line and check out Project Liberty.
