Dove was very pleased to have the South African team from YWAM join us for a few weeks. They helped the Dove kids with school as well as teaching them a series on how important they are in God’s eyes. They helped the kids realize the crucial role they will play in God’s kingdom and how they were specially chosen by God to have a home at Dove. The team also spent time in the community encouraging its residents. Thank you team for sharing with us!

Sneaking in photos

There have been a lot of photos added to the album lately, but I wanted to highlight them here because they’ve kind of been "snuck" in.

For various reasons, a lot of photos have been added out of sequence - meaning that we’ve added newer photos first and older photos later. The album is sorted by time and date, so new photos have been added which are not popping up on page 1, but are buried further into the album.

So to see the newly added photos, you need to go right to the last page of the album (currently 16) and then poke your way through each page. Enjoy!

New photos!

If you haven’t noticed already, there are a slew of new photos in the Gallery. There are pictures of Christmas trees and Christmas programs, lots of pictures of the DOVE kids, fun swimming, friends, food, and all kinds of smiles that you might not expect to see in a war torn country like the Republic of Sierra Leone.

The newest photos are in the Misc DOVE Photos… album. But while you’re visiting, be sure to check out the Older Albums and Photos , with photos dating back to 2003.
