In January, a group of ten returned to further strengthen the parternship between Sheridan and Mudio Lutheran Parish. The group worked "bega kwa bega" (shoulder to shoulder)with parishoners in the coffee fields, building bricks, doing groundkeeping, playing with the kindergarten class, cooking, and washing dishes!
Camp Noah is a faith-based, fun-filled day camp for children who have experienced natural disaster. This year, a team from Sheridan did Camp Noah II at Little Rock AME Zion Church in Bayou la Batre, Alabama. Each day was filled with music, dancing, crafts, Bible study, skits, and even a little rapping.
Eight people traveled 24 hours in a van to serve on the Couer d'Alene Reservation in Idaho. In Idaho, the eight from Sheridan met up with 180 others from across the nation to build porches, wheelchair ramps, fences, and relationships with people living in an area greatly struggling with drugs, illness, abuse, and poverty.
In March 2007, a group of 12 traveled to El Salvador where they worked on two different Habitat for Humanity homes. They also met and worked with the people of Cristo Rey Church, our Habitat for Humanity Global Church Partner.
