Before Roatan: The Campbell Home became the CCCO Donations Collection Center.

 
 

Our living room was filled with numerous bags and boxes of donations.

 
 

If one didn't know any better, they would have thought our house was a wreck.

 
 

But, our home wasn't filled with junk...

 
 

...it was filled with love.

 
 

Every item that was donated represented someone's love for another.

 
 

The phrase, "Treat your neighbor as yourself," was carried across the ocean.

 
 

We want to thank all of the people who had a hand in donating items for CCCO.

 
 

You may not have realized it at the time...

 
 

...but after looking at the photos below...

 
 

...you'll know you made a difference.

 
 

Over 500 pounds of donations filled a corner of our cabin during the first part of the cruise.

 
 

Boxes, boxes, and more boxes!

 
 

All of the boxes were carefully labeled.

 
 

Time to start pulling things out!

 
 

The day has finally arrived!

 
 

We're finally going to meet the kids!

 
 

Well, once we get all of this stuff off the ship, that is.

 
 

Yes, we're still unloading...

 
 

We're not done yet!

 
 

Hey, it's time to head to the gangway!

 
 

Okay, so we got it off the ship, with some much appreciated help from our cabin stewards.

 
 

Now what do we do?

 
 

This island sure is beautiful.

 
 

God's creations are so marvelous.

 
 

A view looking towards the main road, the location to where all of the boxes must be carried by hand.

 
 

Leading the way: our cousins, Joan and Lowell Langford from Knoxville, Tennessee.

 
 

It's a miracle: all of the donations arrived safe and sound at CCCO.

 
 

Time to open the boxes...

 
 

...and reveal to the kids what is inside!

 
 

All of the kids had a personalized bag of clothing.

 
 

That little girl in the middle is Jacika. She loves to wear dresses like a princess, so this pink frilly dress was perfect for her!

 
 

All of the kids opening their bags: one for clothing, one for toys, school supplies, books, candy, etc., and a small handmade one holding small items.

 
 

In the back: the three oldest girls, Gardina, Terisa, and Debra.

 
 

Passing out tennis shoes: everyone was blessed with a pair!

 
 

The kids were so grateful and happy to receive everything that was donated, from toothbrushes to clothes and toys to candy.

 
 

To them, this was Christmas in June.

 
 

The littlest ones could barely hold it all!

 
 

Ken shows them a box of baby wipes, shampoo, and other personal care items for them to share.

Ken accompanied her on the keyboard.

 
 

The dining area at CCCO: featuring "Noah's Ark," painted by an artist who wanted to bless the orphanage through her talents.

 
 

The CCCO kitchen.

 
 

All of the kids have decorated signs for their bedroom doors.

 
 

Each child shares a room with no more than one other child.

 
 
 
 

The reason for this is that Brad and Debbie Warren, the CCCO directors, want them to feel at home.

 
 

As Brad said, they're like The Waltons, times 2!

 
 
 
 

All of the children seemed to keep their rooms very clean and organized.

 
 

The boys' bathroom.

 
 

The apartment where Brad and Debbie live, on the same floor as all of the children's bedrooms.

 
 

A storage room.

 
 

On to the girls' bedrooms!

 
 

Little Ana has Down Syndrome, so she has a room of her own.

 
 
 
 
 
 

A play room.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

The girls' closets were extremely organized. Each child has a closet like this, where one side is their own.

 
 
 
 

From L-R: Sarah & Tanisha (front); Curby, Jacika, Ricky (2nd row); Tye, Franklyn, Ana, Brandon (3rd row); Glen, Debbie, Gardina, Terisa, and Debra.

 
 

Here is Pam getting ready for her puppet show.

They plan to have more rooms to house more children...

 
 

And a large area to have a Worship Center for people in the surrounding community.

 
 

Time to hand out more donations!

The treasure has just been found!

 
 

What's inside? The ultimate treasure is Jesus Christ.

 
 

Okay, everyone line up for the Candy Rain!

Sarah playing with her stuffed dog. She gave it a name while we were there, too:

 
 

Here are a few of the kids playing in the Cat in the Hat playhouse that we were able to bless them with.

 
 

Debra wants to be a missionary. She loved this dress because it will be perfect to wear when she is ministering on the mission field.

 
 

Glen was adorable. Jennifer really fell in love with him, and snapped this picture of him dancing with his new shoes.

 
 

The entire CCCO gang, with some "Caring Cruisers."

 
 

Our wonderful journey to Roatan was nearly over...until now!  God has opened the door for us to visit again in July 2007.

 
 

Not many people get a second chance in life. But, if it is God's will, we will all have a second opportunity to make a difference.

 
 

Will you show love to your neighbor once again?
