This month we are serving at a home for visually impaired children and adults. St. Nicholas home is in Penang, Malaysia and has been operating since 1926. I’ve been taking pictures this month for the organizations promotional/brochures they mail out to potential donors.

Joy and Elizabeth working in the office. We have been spending a lot of time with these two women this month. We’ve enjoyed taking them to the mall, out to eat and just hanging out talking with them.
