Happenings

We've been busy, especially last week with some get togethers. We did a Children's meeting on Monday, and spent all day cooking for it, then Tuesday we had a Ladie's meeting here in Corriverton, Thursday was Graduation for the EduCare students, and then Friday we held a Teen hang-out thingy. Start at the bottom to read about and view the pictures.

One of the students grabbed my camera and took this picture, and though it's not a very good picture, I guess it depicts normalcy here...these are the people we spend a good bit of time around at the Centre. We were actually posing for the photographer to take a picture, apparently James wasn't paying attention.

The Kellman brothers, Kevin and Kevon, with their parents.

Mark Rose, another one of the trouble-making boys who turned out to be a really more than decent guy. This boy has shown integrity and morals that are remarkable.

I love that smile!

The crowd at Graduation

Right after Mr. Hunter talking about these boys, and how much it means to him and how happy he is to see the changes, the MC asked those boys that he was talking about to stand in the crowd. I only had time to capture these 2 students, but one of these boys is special to me, and to Ellen as well. Kevon Kellman is standing in the blue shirt, and he and his twin brother Kevin are such sweet, decent, mature-ish guys. They, according to Mr. Hunter, were trouble-making problems for the Centre when they first came, but have changed dramatically. I trust both of these boys very much, and they respond well to the bible, and discussion of what God would have us to live our lives according to. Praise God!

Mr. Hunter gave a "response" to his recognition, and he almost made me cry when he choked up regarding some of the students, and how far they've come. It's really amazing the changes that have taken place in some of these boys especially from the time they came to the Centre, to now. They are actually productive, "good" members of society rather than a trouble-making scare for everyone.

The Hunters got recognized throughout the ceremony, which goes to show how valuable they are here, and how much they've done and meant for the poeple at the Centre.

Mrs. Indru's speech

The Educare graduates: Electrical and Garment making programs. Out of 56 students consisting of drop outs, 48 of them graduated. That's pretty impressive!

Switching gears to Graduation, Mr. Hunter fixing one of the boy's tie before the service started.

This man is so helpful and willing to do ANYTHING. I love that about him, he really displays a servant's heart.

We had 28 children I think
