Ready for School!


SYI would like to send a BIG Thank You to the Women’s Mission Society from Torch Baptist Church for donating enough money to purchase new uniforms for all 40 children at the Panti Asuhan Sinar Kasih. 

THANK YOU!!! 

SYI was able to purchase 1 school uniform with a hat, 1 pair of socks, 1 pair of shoes, 2 pairs of underwear, and a new backpack for each child from pre-school to high school living at the orphanage.  SYI on-site liason, Esti, lead this project.  She negotiated with a retailer to come to the orphanage so that each kid could try on their new uniform and shoes and pick out a backpack.  Our other on-site liason, Novi, took many photos of the fantastically organized chaos. 

The girls tried on their new outfits first.

While the boys patiently waited in the lesson area. 


My own sweet boy Colby helped to keep them entertained with chicken antics.



The pre-school kids were thrilled with their new duds!



The kids all managed to stay clean while they waited for each and everyone to be outfitted in a spiffy new uniform.  It didn’t stop them from modeling for the camera, though!
