Today we had a bit of a break and went to see several of the schools that have benefited from being affiliated with EduDeo. It was really humbling to see the dedication of the teachers despite the conditions they work in. In Canada, if a new room or piece of equipment is needed, it is brought before the board, it get's voted on and a funding program is decided upon. Here, if a new piece of equipment or room is needed, they at times need to wait years, sometimes with the room half built, before they can begin to utilize it. We had a free time when we got back. Some of us napped, read or played volleyball with the local youth. It was a great, relaxing way to spend the day. It's amazing how fast you can build relationships with people from a completely different culture. However different we are though, what we have in common is most important, our relationship with Jesus Christ.
