Vered, who is a retired Pediatric nurse back home in Israel came to us and did a 2 day training for our staff, and also a session with our children. From first aid, to preventing dieseses and sicknesses, to adolescence and also giving advice on what to have in our medicine box for the children's homes and much more; it was a learning time for both us and our staff... well, and our children too! We had all our staff attend as they function as a family and although one's position can be getting water or security we believe it is vital to give them the opportunity to grow not only for their work with us, but also for their families and in life. We are grateful for the opportunity to have had Vered, as she gave us alot of advice on how to care for our children's health in a good way.
Additionally, we made a good friend that we will never forget. A great heart, good sense of humor, and she likes our cooking...! Trainings are key to helping our staff work in excellence, and their fun too! It was a time for our staff to get away from work, laugh together, be challenged together, and grow together. It is our goal in the future to also hold trainings focused on mental wellness, education and again, health care. All things proceeding to the love and mercy of God and His plan to give them a hope for the future. Jeremiah 29:11, what a beautiful declaration from God. "For I know the thoughts I think towards you says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a hope for the future." Thank you to all who are supporting our work here in Burundi; together, we can make a difference. Until next time...
