Happy Easter - Resurrection Sunday

The children of Good Samaritan Children's home celebrated Easter by going to Church, eating a special treat (donuts and sodas) and receiving their gifts from America. Many of you donated items for the children. Thandie crammed all the goodies into 6 suitcases (leaving all of her clothes on the container to be shipped later) and brought them to Malawi. The children all received new underwear thanks to supporters in North Carolina. The boys received new polo shirts also from North Carolina. Many of the girls received new skirts from the Burtons, the Swims and others across America. The children shared a giant 5 pound candy bar, given to Thandie in Iowa. They loved it! There were many other gifts: tooth brushes, hair bows, school supplies, clothes, etc. Some children received special gifts from their sponsors. The children also received their first Easter egg. The eggs were sent from Kentucky and stuffed by myself and the Burtons. The children first tried to eat the plastic egg and then realized that they had to open it. Each egg contained two pieces of candy and "Easter grass". The Easter eggs were a nice inexpensive and lightweight way to get every child (97 +) a gift from America. Most importantly each child heard the true story of Easter, the resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
