Jura Mountains

What a nice time we had in the Jura Mountains helping prepare the facilities for summer camp! Our team worked with Grain de Ble (website: http://www.graindeble.org/) and HIKidz International (http://www.hikidzinternational.org/), we painted, floored, and cleaned several rooms in their chalets. It was a wonderful weekend to practice our French, hear about these camp programs, and also serve others. We were blessed to be a part of this ministry, and prepare rooms for kids who will be learning about Christ in the summer.
TEAM: Thanks for being so motivated, and being so productive this weekend; hopefully, this partnership can grow as the years pass, and Pepperdine students can work to fix up these chalets or help with camps in the future! If you have some input, or anything that you would like to contribute to this post, please insert your comments and reflections in the comment section below. Thanks!

What a lovely weekend! Even though I was a bit under the weather for Friday, I really enjoyed getting to help out there and spend time with those fantastic people. My team painted walls and ceilings of three rooms. Also, we prepared the floors for laminate flooring and finished flooring two of the three rooms. (We couldn't do the third because we ran out of wood!) The people who ran the facilities treated us like royalty with games, homemade meals including Swiss raclette and a trip to the local caves to see all the wonders of God's creation like stalactites!

It was so great to do some hands-on action and help the facility to look nice and newly painted! The family that helped us for the weekend were so great and took great care of us! Practicing French was a plus too.
