Over Easter week a youth team from Red Bluff, California came to volunteer. This church has been a long supporter to For His Children and I have had the privilege of spending time with members of this church both here in Ecuador and recently on my fundraising trip in California. They are a wonderful group of people and I am always so encouraged after being with them.

Since they were here on Easter, we all went to church together. Then we got to go to a professional soccer game. Tickets were $2.50 per person! Then everyone came over for a brunch and we did an Easter egg hunt for the teenagers and then another one for the kids at the orphanage. It was a great day!

During the week that the team was here, they went to the local market to buy fruits, vegetables, and meat for the For His Children. They had to barter and figure out what each item was that they needed to purchase. One of the items was a cow leg! They also served at the local dump and at a soup kitchen. The teenagers did a fantastic job working with our kids. Thanks for a great week!
