Thanks to donations received recently students in need at Nice View received school shoes today!
Here are a few examples of the condition of their old shoes:
he's wearing a new pair!
Getting the shoes ready for the kids to start trying them on:
Ooooo which pair do I choose?
Waiting in line to try on shoes:
Hey we didn’t get our shoes…no worries the guy returned later with all their shoes!
and here are some of the new shoes:

Our thanks go first and foremost to God for the work He sets before us and gives us what we need to accomplish the task. He moved people, and you were obedient to help, donate and coordinate efforts for this shoe distribution day to be a success.
Thank you’s also go out to:
teachers for allowing us to take kids out of class to get their shoes,
Jane (Class 1 teacher/house mum) for getting the list of orphans together who needed the shoes,
our dear friend (I would love to mention her name but she would want me to emphasize it was God who directed her words it was nothing of herself…simple obedience) who mentioned shoes and collected the necessary funds,
donors who sacrificed funds for the kids,
Bonface (the shoe guy) and his helpers for coming to the Academy with the shoes,
Gideon for being very accommodating with this “interruption” in school,
students who stood in line quietly – even with the excitement of getting new shoes.
We reminded students to thank God for His providence, He is showing His love for them through your efforts…thank you!
