Update from Liberia

Update from Liberia: We spent our first week in Flehla, Liberia with John Travis and the children he cares for at Safe Home Children’s Village. He is doing an amazing job there. We were able to medically assess around 70 children as well as many adults from the community. The truth is that he is taking very good care of these children. They are well-nourished, healthy and full of life and love. There are a couple children that may need minor surgery and we are in hopes to facilitate that soon. During our time there, I was able to read through many of the children’s bios. It is hard to believe the tragedy that many of them come from. I honestly don’t feel you could come up with some of these stories if you tried because they are just so tragic. But at the end of the day, they are now safe, are healing and being loved by the team there. After knowing their history, I just continue to thank God over and over for their smiles and joy. On a side note: the kids LOVE soccer there and they enjoyed showing their dominance over us just like last trip. Keep John and these kids in your prayers. He is working in a tough place, but his dedication is so evident in how the kids are cared for. I am just so honored to get to be a part of this amazing work. The US team, Treasure in Heaven, is making such an impact on a community level with John. Go to www.treasureinheaven.org to learn more about what they are doing. Thanks for your support of Global Health Innovations this summer to allow this medical work to be done!
