House Dedication Day

Today, Monday is the day our family will get keys to their new house. This is one of the best and hardest days as each person has an opportunity to share what this experience means to them in front of the family. What a day, to hand over keys and see their reaction as they get to enter the house first and see all the things the team has bought and brought them.

The family made us lunch today.  It was amazing food!!!

Speechless, no words could describe what this means for the family, to now have a house they can raise their three children and be able to have space to grow as their children grow. Amazing what four days will do for a family that could not have ever built a house on their own. It may not seem like much to us, but for them it is life changing. The house may not seem like much but the experience of meeting the family, playing with the kids and building relationships with the community is as important as building the house and school.

Tomorrow we will dedicate the school. The community is making lunch for us and it should be a great day of celebration and eating. Here are some picture from today.
