Well this weekend, I had the opportunity to go to Ditto with the Philippines team. As probably heard in the news, many Syrian refugees have traveled to West Michigan. One of the Mom’s at ZCS happens to be connected with five of these Syrian families. Sadly, they had to leave on such short notice that they didn’t bring or have things for the winter such as coats, boots, hats, and gloves. On Saturday, all of these families came to Ditto to shop for their families and they’re children. While the Moms were shopping, we as a team had the opportunity to take care of the kids, play with them, and eat with them. There were about twelve of them in total from ages 3-11. The only catch was that none of them could speak any English. Through God, we were able to communicate with them and build relationships with them. I think the best part of the whole day was getting to know Renim and Laina, who were some of the kids we took care of, and bonding with them and the Philippines team. In the end, we had a huge snow ball fight with the kids, because they had never seen snow before. It was so much fun and I can’t wait to see them again.
