Orphanage Cleaning

Yesterday we took a group from Friendship Presbyterian Church to serve at the Garden of Mercy Foundation (a local orphanage).

We mostly cleaned and moved stuff.  

The kids helped too.  :)

Washing windows

Moving dirt

Cleaning out the fridge

Thanks to everyone who came out to help!
