girls' center...

I’m excited to show you all the progress that is being made on the girls’ center that UOBC is working on!  I love working with these ladies!  There has certainly been no grass growing under the feet since they’ve decided to begin the renovation of a local building given to them where they hope next year to open a center for at risk or exploited girls.  In some of the photos you’ll see a volunteer team from First Baptist Church, Philadelphia, MS who spent one day of their mission trip to Burkina working at our center.  They helped to move dirt in the courtyard, and worked on painting the UOBC logo on an inside wall of the house.  We had so much fun together!  When one of the ladies from Burkina asked if someone wanted to ride on the back of her moto to the market to get an extension cord, Mrs. Joyce quickly volunteered, saying that riding on a moto was on her bucket list.  Retired teacher and grandmother of 10!  You’re never too mature to try new and fun things…
