We had a wonderful afternoon today, after the usual bumpy bus ride through stinky streets and busy roads, we arrived at our host church again to work with the childrens pre-school. As always we were greeted with the most humbling warmth and love. The children are so beautiful and despite their poverty they are all dressed so well and with such pride in their appearance and behaviour. It is humbling beyond words. We had a fun afternoon , made it up as we went along as we were left with the children. Neil became a children~s entertainer in 5 minutes, and was great with them all. They loved it when he burst into song at any moment. Claire and Norah were wonderful too, and we all chipped in and had a good time. We sang danced and generally acted like wallies for 4 hours. The little girl in the photo(which I will have to post separately as the camera has gone doo-lally, was so proud of her necklace she made, they all loved having their photos taken.
The blessing these people are to us is beyond words, and we thought we came here to brighten up their lives!! How wrong we were. As always God's logic is the opposite to ours.
The day is near an end now and we are all exhausted again, with another busy day ahead.
Goodnight everyone. I will post the photo when the camera works again.
