Tonga Trip HEFY (Humanitarian Especially For Youth)

Hannah's group at the pizza parlor



July 29th we flew from New Zealand to Tonga to visit the church schools there and to have a joyful reunion with our granddaughter, Hannah, as she participated in building a home for a needy family in Tonga.   It was a great experience to see our granddaughter and to see her HEFY group work so hard, with so little, to build a home for a family who had been living in a shack/garage.
We are so proud of Hannah.   She went on the trip by herself, not knowing anyone else in the group.  It took great courage on her part.   She had a wonderful experience, she worked hard and she came back a different person because of her experience.

We surprised Hannah at Marco's Pizza as they returned from a day of snorkeling
