A Visit to a Local Orphanage

Recently, we had a volunteer team from our home church in NC come and work out in the bush. Their last two days they were in Lusaka so we visited a local orphanage.

Above: The orphanage is building a school building so that the kids will not have to do school in their homes.

The vol. team did a short program with the kids. They taught the kids some songs.

Then Caroline told the story of the Good Samaritan and then they acted it out. It was so fun to watch them act out.

A group of ladies at our church made these hats for all the children. It was a blessing to hand these out to the kids.

They all had smiles on their faces!

We also played games with the kids. The team brought lots of water balloons.

They played duck, duck, goose.

A couple of weeks ago we traveled to Malawi again for one week. During this week there were 3 different meetings taking place. The first couple of days was for the leaders in the Zambezi cluster. The next few days was for a prayer retreat for all the missionaries in Malawi. Then the last couple of days there was a team leader training time. It was fun to see all the missionaries serving in Malawi and even a few from Mozambique. The picture above is of Hannah and Abigail. Hannah was able to help some with the kids during the week. Her and a few other kids her age were great helpers with the younger ones during the week.
