Full days

 The Manna Feeding Program is hosted by Eagle's Nest and provides a warm meal and bible story for many children in the community. Some of the children were coming when they were barely able to walk.  I don't know this young boys name, but his sister carried him up the hill on her back when he was barely able to walk. He has gotten bigger and is just adorable.  The pastor at EN visits with families in the community to see who is in need of meals and as circumstances change the children coming to Manna change.  I saw many familiar faces and even got some hugs from those that I have developed a relationship with over the years.  Always makes my heart happy.

                                   These boys were sitting outside of the Manna Feeding room
                                                      waiting till lunch time. 

                                          This sweet little girl has on traditional attire and it was so
                                         good to see her. 

                                  Elana and Elana - the little girl lives at the Children's
                                   Home and the older Elana is from Guatemala. 
                                   Her mother helps run the School on the property
                                    of Eagle's Nest.  Her father helps with worship at
                                   church,  which is held at the school.  She sang
                                   at church Sunday,
                                   not only is she a wonderful young
                                 lady she has a beautiful voice. 
                                  Little Elana loves it that they have the same name
                 

                            Bernie fell in the playground and broke his arm. 
                            Thank goodness we are nearby the hospital.                
                            He has been a good sport and was laughing
                            and having a good time outside later that day. 
                            Lucky for me he wanted
                            to sit by me at church and sit in my lap.            
                            He was brought to the home with severe burn scares on
                            his hands/forearms.
                            Because of the scar not being tended to properly and not
                            healing correctly
                            his wrist was bent upwards, if that makes sense.
                            Since I was here last year, a medical team came and did
                            surgery on his wrist so that he can move it properly.

                          Just a small glimpse from the market - the fruits and veggies are amazing!
                         The last couple of days have been spent painting and cleaning at the school
                         to prepare for the first day, Friday.
        
                         So thankful for my time here and for Eagle's Nest being a safe place for all of these
                         children.  It is such a blessing to be here. 

                                        Do not merely look out for your own personal interests,

                                                          but also for the interest of others.
