Making progress in Izopo.

Maynor Garcia of Solidaridad
On Monday night we met with Maynor Garcia from Solidaridad. It is an international volunteer organization that helps with health crises such as we see in Izopo. It also supports long term sustainable community building. Since North Central church has had a long history with families in Izopo we are interested in exploring the possibilities of combining our efforts together with Solidaridad in order to bring a better quality of life to the families we love so much. We are very excited about what God is doing!

On Tuesday we continued with VBS and health clinics and delivered six computers to Izopo Elementary School and on Wednesday we hooked up the computers. We also split into groups and visited several homes within walking distance of the school building. Some of us were already familiar with the extent of poverty, but some of us experienced it for the first time. And yet each family was gracious to us allowing us into their homes to take pictures, to ask about their families and their lives. We spoke also of ours and left Izopo having made many new and special friends. 

Blessings,
Leslie Kenney
