Thoughts from Amber & Sydney in Guyana
Heart Makers
Singing Christian songs like “Nobody Greater” and “Deep Down
in my Heart” with the children at the children’s home.
Doing physical therapy with two children at the Children’s
Home.
Hearing the children call us Auntie Sydney and Auntie Amber.
Hearing the taxi driver say he wanted to buy food to cook a
meal for the children’s home.
A family who is building a house to hopefully move out of
Plastic City.
Seeing the passion in teacher Nikki’s eyes when she is
teaching the children at PAL .
Heart Breakers
The thought of what the children at PAL go home to each
night, like no running water, an outhouse for a bathroom, no electricity, and
only one good meal a day.
All of the children that are falling through the cracks at
school because they are so far behind for their age.
Kids who choose not to go to school in Plastic City because
it’s left up to them to decide if they want to go to school or not.
All the children that we have worked with who can’t read,
write, count, or identify their colors.
