The Little Bug (Laura)


Note: Our June expedition is well underway! They are helping to start construction on the second story which will transform The Little Bug from a drop-in center to an orphanage. The following report comes from Laura on the expedition.

We got a lot of work done at The Little Bug yesterday. Besides our little group unloading over 5000 bricks for the start of our second story, we had a small team of doctors checking all the children to establish baseline medical records.

Backgrounds, height, weight, dental and blood pressure were a few of the stops each child made. At first the children were a little nervous, but as they went from station to station there was an increasing sense of "fun" about the whole experience. We've got seven 16/17 year old girls on this expedition who have all become best of friends. It is fun to watch them work together and even more amazing is how they team together to make sure the children feel loved.
