Backpacks Arrived!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Susan, the secretary of Peace for Paul, visited the children during their August holiday and the children were thrilled to spend time with their auntie. She was kind enough to bring all of the backpacks from sponsors with her and the children were ecstatic to receive them! Thank you so much to all who sponsored a child's backpack! It was like Christmas in August for these 33 children!
