Eagle's Cove (Aug. 3, 2009)

Ten of the St. Luke youth were assigned to go to Eagle's Cove, an aborigine center around 40 min. away from our home base. We will be working there all week. Eagle's Cove is over 150 acres of beautiful forest surrounding a small lake; this ministry serves the aborigine population. We learned about the sad history of the First Nation people in Canada and how this site is ministering to the aborigines. We cleared a LOT of brush, moved big rocks, rotten logs, and levelled the topsoil in a front yard. At the end of the day we were very excited because we could actually see a large clearing where there had been thick brush. (Sorry, pix from Vida's camera didn't download to Fred's laptop...we'll use Becca's camera tomorrow!)
