Playing time

Few weeks ago we receive 3 voluntaries who are with us for whole month. The girls are having many ideas, many thoughts what to do with children. None here is bored, either adults either kids.
We do play with the balls, do other activities like racing. The girls are teaching kids colors, simple English, do some craft like drawing, painting. There is a lot of fun each day.


 

Distributing clothes

Very often receive parcels from Poland with many clothes, sweets, balloons, pens, pencils. Last time someone sent us bed sheets which we appreciate very much. Many of those people have to share bed sheets with younger sister or brother. Unfortunately they can't afford to buy clothes, bedsheets etc for everybody. They are lacking many things.
Once went to visit one of the supported family, when I saw the mother splashing the water on the boy (bathing him)and using a rag to dry him up, gently asking do you have towel? Her answer was no. People are happy to receive anything, where for many of us to receive bed sheet or towel it's nothing big. These people are feeling so much value here after giving them something small.

Early morning left with 14 people for Father's Heart school in Jinja. We drew for many hours and by the time we reached mostly everyone was tired.
Nile
None of us really knew what to expect. For many of those kids it was first time to be in such a place. Beautiful view on the river Nile, away from daily responsibilities, shower in the rooms, nice food served every day, simply Paradise. We spent there 5 full days.
Watching them during this time was delight for mine heart. Some of
the kids didn't experience to be in God's presence. Some of them first time heard about having time with God, giving God his/hers time just to listen.
At the end of the session some of the children shared their own experiences, testimonies. It was so great to hear some of them forgave they own parents, relatives and understood they are not Orphans anymore because our Father in Heaven cares for them. Everyone was so thankful for the chance of being there.
