The Compassion staff in the AIC Mungala church office.

Getting acquainted.

What a mighty army serving children and families through Compassion International.

Caroline Muysyoki has been Sheryl's Compassion sponsored child for 5 years.

The social worker opened up Caroline's records to show us how her money is spent.

Even photo records of Caroline's progress -- educational, health, emotional and spiritual.

Planting our Avocado Tree!

Paul and Caroline plant their avocado tree. Paul and I each planted our own tree with Caroline.

The drinking and watering water is carried in these big plastic canisters - Jim, our Compassion host is pouring it over the freshly planted tree. Thank God for the Living Water which Caroline has received when she received Jesus Christ as her personal savior. She will never thirst again!

Sheryl and Caroline plant a tree in the front yard of the AIC Mungala Project. The tree is a symbol of life and longevity - a reminder for the staff to pray for us after we leave.
