Gifts As A Greeting


Dear supportive friends,

Students have been very happy to see us, asking about our greeting of the American people and your condition. We brought some T-shirts as gifts from some of you, which the kids are receiving very “warmly.”


The mornings and evenings are chilly, so additional layers are very helpful, especially when they are not full of holes, as is often the case. We try to give them to students who not only have good academic scores, but who are wearing rags under their uniforms.


Other appreciated gifts for the school(s) were the laptops, First-Aid supplies, soccer and volley balls, and general school office supplies.

We found a budding artist in the Form One class who was elated with the package of colored pencils and the opportunity to add color to his drawing of Jesus. His name is Nicko, and we’ve tentatively commissioned him to do some art work on “Thank You” cards. We’ll see what he comes up with.

In His grace,

Gary and Joanne Grenell
