School Bags and an Unusual Item

Bosnia & Hercegovina | OM International

In July OM EAST delivered not only schoolbags, typical school supplies and some money for more supplies to the OM Team in Bihac, Bosnia but also one unusual item…
This year the director of the local school stated he did not need any school bags. However, the school and staff had not received any money or salaries for the last 2 months and they did not even have chalk. OM Bosnia promised to provide chalk and to pay for cleaning and paper supplies and other necessities. They then asked if they were in need of anything else. A teacher, sitting in the back of the room, suddenly spoke up: “Do you have a microscope?” …and indeed, in the load from OM EAST there was this very item. Never before had OM EAST received a microscope to pass on! Certainly God’s hand was involved - The school staff agreed in a Muslim way, that it was “destiny”!
