The Jesus School

Opening day at the Jesus School! Over 100 children, grades 1-6, met together for an orientation and celebration.

Kathy shared an encouraging word. Meng Aun, director of the school, translated.

Playing!

Lined up for a nutritious meal--chicken curry and bread.

The students live within walking distance of the school. We had the opportunity to visit some of their houses.

Large ceramic pots are used to catch and store rainwater for drinking, cooking, and bathing.

Many of the students scavenge through the dump to find items of value. This boy is proudly displaying the items he has collected. When he empties his cart at the recycling center, the boy will be paid less than $2 for a day's work.
