We had a second week of day camps and they went really well. We started off the week with the older girls from the special school. We ran the same program as we had before - about the five senses. The highlight of each day was the water games.
Duck Duck Goose is always the hit game, we could play for a long time.
Of course we had to have fun with water balloons.
We don't work with these girls throughout the year because we don't have enough staff, so they were very excited to be with us at camp. We worked with them at camp last year too so we knew them all already. These girls need lots of prayer because there is lots of darkness and poor conditions at their orphanage.
The zip line was a big hit too, they wouldn't even do anything else while they were waiting to go, even though we had a written list and we called them when it was their turn.
Next we had the boys from the special school, even though we worked there throughout the year we got to meet some new boys.
The boys were really excited to come to camp too. Some from my english class practiced what they remembered with us. They are a really special group and we love them a lot.
We did a parade with sound makers, look at that great line.
Of course we played water games and they were a hit again. Especially in this hot weather it was so fun!
It was so great to spend more time with the kids that we've gotten to know over the past year, our ministry of teaching classes has really paid off in relationships with these kids.
These camps were lots of fun and we continued to build up our relationships with these kids. Please pray for them, especially being in the special needs schools they don't have a very bright future ahead of them. They need God's help to understand his love and they need people in their lives to show them too. That's what we're here to do and we would like to encourage you to come too and share God's love with these kids. Especially in the summer time we need lots of help and you can come for 2 to 5 weeks to minister to these kids. Ask us about it if you're interested!
