Monday we visited two schools, the first of which was a nursery school, Bonteheuwel, providing services to young children ages 1 to 6. Erin, Judy, Roberta & Leah did puppets for the children in the assembly and then we all walked through the classrooms and passed out stickers, which they couldn't’t have been happier to receive. They were very cheerful children and seemed to really enjoy being able to attend school. Later that morning we walked to Rosewood Primary School, which offers education to pre-teens and teens. Mike & Dave lead a great time of singing with some wonderful old Sunday school songs. Dave and I did “Boomwhackers” for the teens and then invited some of them to join us. Jeanne and Debbie presented the gospel message using balloons, and then we all taught the teens how to make balloon animals. It was a very fun time and I believe the teens were very excited to have us there.
We spent the afternoon sanding and painting the nursery school, which was hard, but rewarding. Needless to say, we all slept well last night!
More to come tomorrow – keep checking in on us!
