This month, we have had the wonderful opportunity to work with the amazing teachers at Yayasan Kita in Bandung, Indonesia! Each one of them has blessed us in their own way, as they always took time out of their days to make sure we were loved and seen. They made our time in Bandung so special… it is definitely going to be hard to say goodbye tomorrow 🙁
To show our appreciation, we held a lunch for them this week: complete with an American lunch, games, and prayer. This event was thanks to my teammate, Stephanie Gilbreath, with her role as Beauty for Ashes Coordinator. With this role, she makes sure to incorporate AIM’s Beauty for Ashes program in each country we go to (you can find out more info on the program here.)
My favorite part of the event was the name tags we created for each teacher. Instead of just writing our name, we each prayed for a word that described them best. And on the name tag, we wrote that word in their language to make it extra special… complete with the meaning and a little note on the back! (S/O to my teammate Shauny Gordon for that idea!)
