Day 7

Today we woke up at 7:00 for a breakfast of banana cake, apples, scrambled eggs and mango. Two teams headed off to feedings not far from the YMC; Many people were challenged because we left early and had to leave some injured children unhelped. After getting back to the YMC, the two teams found jobs to do around the campus, sweeping and doing laundry. The other two teams did construction, successfully pulling out the termite mound and beginning work on the new nursery. Matt, Mark, Mr Kappert and Mr P made use of their handiwork and built beds for the young kids at the children’s home; Mr Kappert designed the bunk beds while the boys and Mr P worked like apprentices for him. After lunch the two teams headed off to the Children’s home doing construction and playing with the kids. One team then left for another feeding. During the afternoon construction Rachel and Cassia painted the walls of the new nursery’s monkey bars. While Miss Smoker enjoyed doing mathematical measurements so as to construct two hopscotch courts. Meanwhile Tyler and Jayden busted a drainage pipe by hitting it with a pickaxe. Due to their inability to work with heavy tools they were then reassigned to painting a four square for the new nursery. Later in the afternoon a basketball game was played between the Kennedy boys and the Rehoboth team only consisting of two Rehoboth students, Mark and Isaac. Rehoboth won, obviously, and a game was then organised for later that night. Those who were not playing hung out with the kids from the children’s home and from the JAZ home. After a delicious dinner two teams went to the Children’s home for devotions, where Jos did a devotion on the power of the tongue. Two teams also went to Journey for Hope to do devotions, which took ages to drive to and from because of the traffic from the festival. Overall it was a great day, but quite a few of the team are feeling tired or sick, so prayers would be appreciated!
