What are we doing and how can you help?

A few quick details... We'll be there approx. 7 weeks. We'll teach at an elementary school in the mornings and lead women's Bible studies in the afternoons. The weekends will be committed to follow-up visits to children and villages we've met before and to planning and preparation.
(Katy's words...much more eloquent than mine! )

We have come up with some more creative ways ya'll can be a part of our trip!
Anything that is light that we could take would be fabulous.
For example:
- a CD player with batteries for teaching that we could leave there
-a Kinyarwandan Bible costs $5 and we give them to churches over there
-things for recess: they love soccer balls, maybe some of those deflated with a pump and extra needles, jump ropes...
-they don't use a lot of school supplies other than basic pencils and notebooks, but we could take a few of those things
-maybe whistles to get kids attention.
-clothes (things I could wear on the trip and leave with women we meet)
-a small (or 2) paper Bible for me to use while I'm there and leave with someone
-necessities- ex)hand sanitizer... (things that we'll have to buy before we leave)
These are just a few ways and most of all PRAYER is needed!
