Day 11 Childrens home

Hi Chris,
We all jointly worked on the blog for today - see below - we’ll choose photos and send them as well……

We started the day slowly while we were waiting for the children from the children’s home to get back from their church. When we arrived, they were all very excited to see us again as they hadn’t realised we were making another visit. We had brought several different craft activities with us along with some extra purchases we’d picked up on the way. The children filed in eagerly and patiently waited for us to set things up. We set up four tables with different craft activities including fortune tellers and friendship bracelets. We were pleased that all the children joined in with all the different activities even though there was a wide age range.
In the afternoon we played a variety of ball games outside and they all particularly enjoyed ‘dodge ball’ and ‘duck, duck goose,’
We were feeling exhausted so we encouraged them all to have a break with squash and some biscuits that we’d brought with us.
To finish the afternoon off, the children were thrilled that we’d brought along some bubble wands which they had great fun with.
We all felt sad to leave but delighted that we’d been able to catch up with them one more time.
Before returning back to the lodge, we did two more food drops. One to an 80 year old Gogo who lives on her own. She was very pleased to meet us.
We also visited the home of another Gogo with three grandchildren. Chris C and Nkosie are planning two sponsored events to raise money to build them a new house. The family were delightful. The Gogo was so excited at the possibility of having a safe and secure home built for her family - she picked us up in turn and swung us around in her exuberance.Read more
