In this week's episode: Sharing Masks to Prevent Spread of COVID— We love the stories we’ve been sharing with you for the past 20 weeks – the ones about young people, like Charlotte Oh, who sews masks for medical professionals in her hometown, and stories like the one we shared last week about a large organization—Adventist Health Bakersfield—donating 500 masks for a homeless shelter. Members, local churches, hospitals, schools – everyone is pulling together to make sure masks are available to those who need them. Couple Delivers Filipino Food to Elderly Sabbath School Members— The level of food insecurity in our country, particularly now, is off the charts. People are hungry, and church members are stepping in to fill the gap. When we heard about Buddyboy Endok and his wife Dalia from the Central Valley church, it warmed our hearts. He told us that he and his wife were very concerned about the elderly members of their Sabbath School class when stay-at-home orders took effect. So he began cooking – Filipino noodles, and other food – and delivering it to them. Their “meals on wheels” ministry has grown, with help from other members, and they’re now making 20 deliveries twice a week, which takes 6 hours to complete. “The looks on their faces are priceless,” he said. Thank you, Buddyboy, Dalia, and your helpers from Central Valley church! https://centralvalley.adventistfaith.org/ Orangewood Academy Teacher Named Among Esteemed Educators for 2020 by Mathspace— Almost 350 teachers from across North America were recently named by Mathspace as Esteemed Educators for 2020.

NASA's Terra satellite imagery showed the storm's track as it moved just north of the islands this past weekend. Learn more via the link below. Let’s remember in our prayers all of our students, teachers, and staff in Hawaii as they are the first to open their schools next Monday, August 3, in compliance with state requirements.
