Too many!! |
This was
the cry from several of the children as about 50 visitors, Americans and Zambians, descended on
Taonga School on the morning of the 18th July. In a way my heart joined
their cry but I knew great things were to come!
The 'Arise Africa Bible Week' team had arrived!
During the
week that followed the children quickly
realised that all of these visitors were a good thing!
The children were split into groups of 6 or 7
and each group had an American visitor and Zambian staff member. The adults all
took time to teach the children about God, play with their groups and learn about the children.

Everywhere you looked there was a group of children |
|
Keen listening in the big groups sessions |
Through the week there was a real buzz in school. The children arrived early, were very well behaved and even the little ones who are quite shy were responsive and able to recite their memory verses into a megaphone for the rest of the children.

Photo booth fun |
On Friday
they had a party. “The best party ever!” There were sports, face painting, a photo booth, a bouncy castle and
hotdogs for lunch!
This week I
have been gifted the interns (6 of them) to do jobs at school. They almost burnt the school down cleared
rubbish, listened to children read, painted and tidied.
Thank you
Arise Africa, Alissa, Megan, Faith and the team for coming in, taking over, loving and teaching!
