Lubbock Team- Reality

Today the team from Lubbock joined the team members of Safina Street Network as they made a weekly visit to the local dump. Many of the street children either sleep or stay at the dump during the day looking for food or for something to sell. During these visits, a devotion is led by a team member for both the children and any adults who wish to participate. Today, during the devotion time, they explained how the team came from America and was working to build a roof on the center. They welcomed us as warmly as all Tanzanians and were thrilled to find the girls had brought candy.


The reality of life as a child of the streets was seen first-hand.

I am so moved by the photos this morning. You made a big impact in the life of each person you visited. Who knows how far the blessing will spread! Thank you for going, for loving, for serving. Thank you for your blog. It is well designed and such a good tool for communicating what you are doing.
