Sunday: Church services with our hosts, Bobby & Sherry Burnette and time at the orphanage
Monday - Friday: VBS program in the morning for 100's of children and different outreaches in the afternoon. One afternoon/evening will feature a special youth outreach for the teenagers. The other evenings are spent at the orphanage and other local church gatherings and projects.
