Tuesday morning we went to a school for ages K-8. The school had been destroyed in the earthquake, like many others. Due to a debt of 60K they are unable to rebuild. Each classroom is packed and each student shares a seat. They cannot take any more students as they do not have any more space. There is concern of Cholera as there is no bathroom as they had also been destroyed. My heart broke when they said that some kids come to school and had no food or drink and the school didn't have any money to provide this for those that were in need. For $100/year you can send a child to school for $1200 they can build two more classrooms. How many of us could easily help send a child to school or help in rebuilding two classrooms. Our group gave money from our heart to buy food and water to have on hand for those that may need it. We also said we would like to partner with this school, if you feel the urge to help please let me know. 
After lunch we went out for more prayer walks. We met a women that had been injured during the earthquake. She had a building fall on her and both of her legs had been injured. One leg was saved with surgery while the other leg had to be amputated. Her right leg is weak and she has a hard time standing for long periods of time. She asked for prayer because she is staying at a friends house and she does not know how long she will be able to stay there. She also has no one to help her with her three children. In addition, because of her injury she cannot work and provide food for her children. We walked away knowing God is bigger than all of these problems.
