Heather ran the final pass of her "Fiesta" VBS in the coastal town of Chipilapa. It was scheduled to be a one day event with 150-250 kids until 600-800 of them showed up!! It was a tiring day in the heat. They were able to minister to the kids but the adults had become accustomed to people coming in and giving things to themso they were constantly asking for equipment, soccer balls, extra chips...Pleeeeeeease. Heather even saw the mothers taking the candy away from the children! There is a line in charity between help and enabling and we have found it is always a hard line to find.
