Helping orphans, reaching the lost and needy

Team

Last week we were very blessed to have a team from California visit Helping Hands Children's Home. They came from a church of one of our good missionary friends that live in Yaounde (the Young family). They were in Cameroon for just a week but managed to get a lot done. They were all I.T. guys who work at Microsoft, Facebook, Ebay, Yahoo, Cisco etc.,  so they were very techie to say the least. They came to help set up different security and internet systems for different missionary groups. They came to Bamenda just for one day but it was great to get to know them. They blessed the orphanage with two laptops! It is so wonderful, we have always wanted to be doing some sort of computer training with the kids (especially the older ones) as it is so important in this day and age, but never really had the opportunity. We were also blessed with a desktop recently too so we now have 3 computers. This month we will be switching one of storage rooms into a "Learning Center." We're still working on a system that is fair allowing all the kids to have a chance. It will also be a good incentive to get chores and homework done! Thanks so much to this generous team!!

That is awesome news. It is always a good thing to have a Techie around. Praise the Lord for this blessing!! I know it will be put to good use and help in yet another way to teach these children to work for Jesus and give them a future.
