A Saturday Spent Painting
By on June 27, 2008
This past Saturday we had an amazing opportunity. Hope House (the orphanage that we visit on a weekly basis) recently had some paint donated to them for repainting purposes, and they asked us if we’d be interested in helping out. We said yes with great excitement, and went over on Saturday to begin. The Outreach Staffers had a wonderful opportunity as well! They had the chance to spend almost all of their Saturday with the kids, keeping them busy while all of the interns painted inside. A few escaped here and there, but we managed to keep most of them completely paint-free!
We were able to get a lot done, and are even more excited for the future plans for the orphanage bedrooms. We plan on painting each bedroom in a theme chosen by the kids, and they’ve already expressed immense excitement about it! It was great to be able to impact their lives in a way different than we usually do. It’s a blessing, too, to show them love in so many different fashions. More than anything, I’m grateful for the opportunity to bring color to their lives, and to inspire them to live beyond what society has told them they deserve.
