Christmas in August- a picture diary

The van packed up before we left on Thursday. Thank you Michael Goins!

Teachers enjoying their "Christmas in August"



They were very surprised! They had no clue that everything on their list had been purchased! A couple months ago, I (Ramona) had contacted Mrs. Skiffer who I worked with on a missions trip last year. She was so shocked to hear from me and to hear that RANWC wanted to donate school supplies to the school. Mrs. Skiffer asked the principle, Mrs. Clayton to gather a list from her teachers. They dreamt big and didn't expect to see their dreams come true. We received a very warm welcome! Lots of hugs and smiles and proclaimations of what a blessing it was for us to come through for them. The school down south are no where near the poshness of the ones we went to up north.









This math teacher was SSSSOOOOOO HAPPPY!!! He's been waiting for these calculators for his students for 3 years!

Very very long bridge over water to New Orleans

After about 15 hours of driving, it was time for bed! But who slept the longest?
