We had another great day with the kids! There was more soccer played, crafts made, fingernails painted, and pictures taken! They were split into groups of boys, girls, and under age 12 today as we had some delicate things to discuss with them during discussion time. Thanks to a wonderful partnership with Desta Girl, all the girls over 12 at our carepoint are able to receive a washable, re-usable menstrual hygiene kit that will empower them to care for their bodies and continue life as normal even when they have their period. Amanda did a great job educating the girls on menstruation and how to use and care for their new kits! The girls were engaged in the discussion and are excited to receive their kits on Thursday!
Meanwhile Pastor John led a discussion with the boys about treating women respectfully and healthy relationships, also an important discussion.
The kids also worked very hard on a craft for their sponsors and each had the opportunity to learn a chord or two on the guitar with Jeff. They loved it!
They also loved more time with Lucas on the soccer field.
Tomorrow we look forward to spending some time with the parents and families of the children, walking around the community, and visiting some IGAs (Income Generating Activities, similar to small businesses) that parents in our community have been starting as they seek to support their families. Thank you for your prayers during this important time of connection between our communities!
