Caleb and a new friend shoot in tandem.
These four girls worked for more than an hour creating this little scene from play-doh, even adding bits of cotton as snow on the roof and tiny tree. They were pretty pleased with the results! It was so interesting to see even older kids be so interested in the craft supplies we brought... 
Thumb wrestling match with Scott... so fun!
More play-doh creations...
Preparing the afternoon snack
See Gwenny in the middle of the group? She almost blends right in! Her skin was actually a few shades lighter than the local kids.
Showing some little ones how to make a paper lantern. Sandra, the mother of the home, is in the background.
Madelyn and friends creating things out of colored paper.
At first just one girl and I were doodling a bit with the colored chalk, but soon our doodle grew into a big, rainbow heart that this whole group wanted to be a part of adding to. This was right before we left on our last day at Seeds of Hope. I was not looking forward to saying good-bye to the kids... part of the reason this heart got so big! Maybe if we add one more color around the outside, I can stay a little longer...

It was great to also hang out for a little while with you and your family at Seeds of Hope even through the distance.
I so would love to sit and hear more of the heart insights. Thank you for all you shared.
Hope you have a great Valentines.
Love you,
Maribel
So glad you were there, dear Lynne. So glad you all were there.
You're doing it, Lynne...you are living the dream. That's what comes to mind when I saw these pics and imagined the unbelievable impact on you, Scott and the kids. You are really making the most of each moment you are there. Thanks for sharing!
I love seeing your pictures of Bali! The people and the scenery look just like in Jakarta. I'm glad you had such a good time with the kids. I can't wait to hear more.
I'd love to know more about Seeds of Hope if we are ever able to go to Bali. Thanks for sharing and I will stop you at school or church - want to know more and if we can help, too.
