I didn't wake up dying from eating tarantula last night, so I found that encouraging. Today after breakfast we went to the Happy Tree orphanage, which is a facility for.children with HIV/AIDS. They live and attend school at the orphanage, and there are over a hundred children in residence. The organization is Christian, and it is so cool that they are bringing the love of Christ to.these kids in the way we do it. We did bible stories, games, and crafts. The kids are so adorable, but its hearbreaking thinking about what they are suffering through, especially through no.fault of their own. Another injustice of this world that I wish I could change, but cannot.
After that and lunch we went back to the first village with Brett. My little.buddy sat with me for over.an hour, and fell asleep on my lap, before his.mom came and took him home. It was super sweet. We also finished installing all of.the solar panels and lights today. Now every family in this village has a renewable source of power, and can save so much money now because they no longer need the car batteries. It's amazing being a part of a project like that. We didn't build a house, but we brought the light to these people. "You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to God in heaven" (Matthew 5)
