More about the flip flop fellowship!

The children at the Vineyard, Gainesville wanted to connect with the children in Nicaragua so they decorated some flip flops to give to those without. These children are holding a photo of the child in Gainesville who decorated the flip flops.

This was one of the 1st pairs we gave away. Thank you Vineyard Children!

Angela, one of the nanny/s I worked with at the orphanage brought some of her extended family with me to help. It was great to see local children reaching out to other locals in need.

This young girl had been sent out to run for some washing powder and soap.

She was so happy to get them that she ran off and left the old ones in the same place!

She ran off into the distance and just left them there!

Angela and I became close friends whilst working at the orphanage together for 3 years. Her son, Angelito just celebrated his 1st birthday

and got his 1st pair of flip flops!!! It was wonderful to see that something so simple could bring so many smiles!

This little guy was so cute! But we did not have any flip flops left.

Wish we had just one more pair for her...

Sorry we had none left. We will come back with more.
