DAY 6


It is hard to believe we are coming to the end of this week already! Seems like we have just arrived! More stories are starting to circulate about seeds planted, and the lives that have been touched these past 6 days. We will of course never know of the full effect that we have had here in Sandomierz, but the stories we have heard – and those we will learn about ongoing – have blessed those of us working here immensely, and we hope that they will bless and inspire you as well as you read though them here, and hear accounts from us as we all return home.



One of the biggest projects we have been working on this week – the playground at preschool #3 – has reached completion!! This was the large culminating project that everyone came to help finish up as the other projects got done throughout the day. Great lengths of fencing, gates, and over 20 pieces of playground equipment were sanded and newly painted with brilliant colors. What a transformation from the dull and rusted beginnings just a week ago!




As promised, here are a few pictures from the mural done in preschool #1…















As the week has progressed, hours of video were shot and are being put together in a reel that will share just a taste of the impact around this town ~ of the different projects and stories, testimonies of the workers, and reasons why we have come here to share Real Hope through our actions. That film will be posted here, or the link shared, as soon as it has reached completion.
