• Monday thru Thursday- 8 am to noon or 1 pm. They need assistants for the educational area which is in the morning... and one of the things Paloma, the director stressed was the desire for consistency. So I figured if I could basically come every day at the same time I would try to. I'm excited to be going daily and continue to grow the relationships and pour more into the people.
  
• Fridays- 9:30 to noon or 1pm. The reason that Friday is different is because we have women's bible study for our team in the morning from 7:30 to 9.

Working with the jewelry making ministry:

• Now, we just found out a couple of days ago about this ministry finally- and it's such an exciting opportunity. One of Younglife's sponsors down here is Opportunity International and this ministry would be sponsored/ financed by them. The idea is to provide Younglife with a means of an income so that they can slightly support themselves. Also, the jewelers would get an income- and they want to take this project into rural areas to so that they can provide the kids there (whose schooling ends at age 11) with a trade. Another aspect of the ministry is to teach a few kids how to lead and handle the project so that when we leave in May the ministry doesn't fall apart.
  
• The class times of actually making the jewelry would be in the mornings (since the older kids usually go to class in the afternoon) and as you can see, my mornings are full. I'm probably going to be involved in the more "administrative" side of the project: research, brainstorming, budgeting and training the next leaders. This project still is in the planning part- we have to draw up a proposal and give it to Opportunity International and then start figuring out how to get information out there about the class, go shopping for tools and supplies, figure out what would be a good starting project... plus more. So, it's going to be a little while before the ministry is up and running totally. But I'm so excited to see where God takes this ministry and who He raises up to take over in the end.

Those are the two main ministries I'll be helping out with and... can you tell I'm excited?? They are two ministries that are, well, totally different that what I thought I was going to do when I left in December.

I would encourage you to maybe go check out my teammates blogs- they are all also involved in incredible ministries and it would take a long time to describe and talk about them all.
