Final Words from the Brown's

From the Browns:
As we reflect on this wonderful group and their contributions to the Mercy Care Centre, our hearts are full of joy. It was a blessing to work with these dedicated and loving people. The group bonded so well. and when we arrived at the Mercy Care Centre, each person seemed to fit right into the school. Our artists, Purnell and Lynn, contributed a beautiful mural on the back walll and decorated the front of the school with a map of Africa and a heart. People filled in to treat 450 children in our clinic. We left the school feeling sad to leave new friends but glad of the contributions we made to improve their lives. We were able thanks to the work of Betsy Garrard to purchase a small school for the secondary school and everyone is so excited about this endeavor because it offers more hope to our children. Each of us is bringing back one child or one teacher that touched us personally. You have read of some of these people in the blog. Our prayer is that the vision shared by our volunteers will grow and touch the hearts of our friends and loved ones at home. Thanks for your prayers during our visit. God protected us during riots, earthquakes and a volcano eruption. But, mostly we were blessed with safe travel . This year and this group will always be special to us because of its closeness and willingness to do what God called them to do. Thank you God for this tremendous blessing.
