- Friendship Teams -

In late August/early September, a team from the US worked in a school in Cambodia and an orphanage in Vietnam.



In Cambodia, team members purchased text books for the children and celebrated the first day of school with the students.





Team member Kathy Alexander had the opportunity to share with the children, encouraging them in the Lord to do their best during the upcoming school year. Afterward, the team laid hands on and individually prayed for each student.



In Vietnam, the team threw a back to school party at a local orphanage. Kathy and Toby gave a pair of high-quality shoes to each child at the orphanage and handed out notebooks and supplies for the upcoming school year.





The day included games, a movie (Joseph), and a yummy meal.



The team spent a day at the Danang eye hospital with several children from the orphanage. The children were given eye examinations and one boy received a new pair of glasses.





The week ended with a trip to the movies. 50+ children, orphanage caregivers, Orphan Voice staff and team members enjoyed Ice Age 3, complete with popcorn and a soft drink.



Team member Toby Rapp had the following to say about her time with Orphan Voice: My trip to Cambodia and Vietnam continues to be enriched as I savor the memories of meeting the people, experiencing their culture and working with the Brewers and Eubanks in both countries. This was my 73rd trip overseas and one that will highlight my 18 years in short term work around the world
