Day of the Child 2016

On September 29th, we celebrated THE DAY OF THE CHILD in the weekly Bible Study with 23 of our kiddos. (The actual day is October 1st) Within this group, six of the kids are the top students in their class at school. They were publically recognized and given a reward. Laughter was in the air as the kids participated in various races and played games together. Each one of the kids received a hand-wrapped gift of goodies. When the “sunshine” piñata burst its candy on the ground, children and mothers alike scattered to collect all they could. Our gratitude goes out to our children’s Bible Study teacher who has worked in the ministry with us for 14 years.
