Second Day of VBS and Mtsilitza Village

We completed our second day of VBS and it was another success. The kids had a great time playing games, decorating T Shirts, making crafts and eating Snowman treats made out of graham crackers, marshmallows and candy. Yours truly got to dress up like a penquin today and entertain the kids with some moves I learned from the movie Happy Feet.

After we finished VBS in the morning we visited Tazili Village about a 30 minute walk from ABC. Walking thru the village and were greeted by dozens of children wanting to have their picture taken. They also wanted to hold our hands and walk with us. By the time we reached our destination in the center of the village we had over two dozen children of all ages surrounding us. It was an incredible experience. I will try to update the blog with pictures tomorrow. The internet connection is very slow and it will not let me upload pictures tonight.

When we reached the center of the village we helped Children of the Nation feed orphans. After singing songs with the children we helped the kids wash their hands and we served them their one meal of the day.

In addition to feeding the orphans we met a group of widows that are part of an organization called The Widows Club. The Widows club trains widows in trade such as baking or sewing so they can eventually support themselves. When I get back to the States I will post video of today on you tube. You will not want to miss this video. It is very moving. I also have video of Pastor Mark speaking to all the Orphans just before they ate their meal.

Please visit Children of the Nation and consider sponsoring a child. http://www.cotni.org/71-mtsilitza


Tomorrow we are visiting a crisis nursery to hold and feed sick babies.

God Bless
