The Childrens’ Camp

The Childrens’ Camp went very well and they were very enthusiastic in the participation of all the activities.  It was a very good opportunity for the children to keep themselves busy during the summer holidays and as well as being fed.   The children who turned up were different each day and it was a joy for us that we were able to reach out to different poor squatter areas.  The last two days were mainly games that involved  team building and it was great to see the children working together among themselves as they need each other to play the games successfully. 

1st Workshop

A variety of activities simultaneously were offered to the children i.e, wall painting, handicraft, reading, maths, writing, storytelling etc.



Handicraft

Writing

Bible Activity

                      

A  passage from the Bible was: the salt and the light of the world and the fig tree, and the Pentecost passage all  prayers and sharing were based on these passages and from them, the children   make up the songs, drawings and drama.
