If you are having a hard time with mentoring...

​A bit of encouragement we received from a mentor: 

Hey Joy! 

Things have actually been going really well with Flor and me lately and I just wanted to let you know. I had told you before that I was having trouble trying to get together with her because of our crazy schedules. Well for the summer we decided to call each other every day and read the Bible together while I drive to work. Well..... She reads and I comment. It's safer that way. ;P But it's been going well and we haven't missed a day yet. I've also been able to get together with her face to face once since summer started, but I'm really excited to find a way to touch base with her on a very regular basis. 

I hope all is going well with you! ​

Party with a Purpose

One of the requirements to attend Pine Cove camp is completing two work days. It’s sort of a way to “earn” your camp opportunity. Today’s work day was very unique. The students had a Party with a Purpose for Sole Hope!

Sole Hope is a non profit that provides shoes for the people of Uganda. Their core purpose is to effectively put in place preventive methods to combat diseases that enter through the feet and to create a positive physical and spiritual difference in the lives of individuals in impoverished communities.

As you can see from the photos, the students worked very hard tracing and cutting patterns, putting the different pieces together into sets and decorating! By the end of the two hours, TWENTY ONE pairs of shoe sets were prepped and ready to be shipped to Uganda for assembly.
