It's raining PAINT

Thanks to some awesome donations from the states the leadership team (and us four girls) have been finishing a project that started a year and a half ago. During the 1st leadership camp that i attended the campers came up with the idea to repaint their school.  After a long time of painting and plastering there were still 11 classrooms to be completed. Fully trusting on Him to provide, we told all the students that this week we would be painting the last few classrooms.

We started monday and our pace has been about 3 rooms a day. The ceilings have been taking us the longest but we are pushing through. We were a little weary that not many students would show up to help but each day the number of helpers has increased.

Many people think it is strange to see us girls working so hard, but it is a great example to show them that hard things can be done you just have to work hard.

The funniest part of this week has been the fact that each kid MUST be cleaned up and changed into new clothes before leaving the school, while, us four girls just walk outside COVERED in paint.

Keith says you aren't a good painter if you have more paint on you than the wall, but we have done so many walls now that i am sure the walls have just a little more than i do.
