The first week of June, my sister Diane came with her 14 year-old granddaughter, Ellen Feringa from Covington. From the moment they arrived, they both threw themselves into every activity with the children and ministry work. Ellen was amazing with all of the children and blessed them in many ways. The children have only one campus uniform to be worn after school. Most of the uniforms are tattered and torn and many children do not have one. When they learned this, Diane and Ellen worked together in the states on getting all 65 children a similar play outfit to wear every day. Ellen gathered donated navy uniform shorts for the boys from her previous school in Covington and great plaid skirts for the girls. Diane brought new tee shirts in assorted dark colors. Everyone was fitted and blessed to have a new outfit. They looked wonderful; however, it is difficult for children to have only one after-school outfit to be washed weekly.
