Finished our third last day of lessons this morning. This week we have had 3 groups of teachers and kids, so I have been teaming up with Naomi from Foothills and we have been leading the 9-10 year olds, and usually have about 15 per day, so it feels much more saner than last weeks 35 kids. Only issue is that from tomorrow we can’t use the kinder building that we have been using but move into a little office somewhere else, so we’ll see how we go. It has been amazing meeting kids each day that just seem so hungry to learn but have such limited opportunities. In some ways it seems like what we are doing is just a drop in a bucket for the kids yet it is so encouraging seeing the look of hope in their eyes. It seems that most of the children from this community have come at some part of our teaching, and many of the community leaders rally appreciate our being there.

Sounds like this eweek is going better than last.
Think of you guys, excited to hear you stories.
Working with children, you really are doing Gods work. Oh the joy you must have.
Hey Gary, thanks for that, It helps me to understand Jesus words a little more when he said "Unless we become like little children, we cannot enter into his Kingdom" I feel especially privileged to be sharing with the poorest of the poor.
