Day 5: Amani Watoto Children's Camp

 Day 5 brought us much joy through the Watoto Camp! The Watoto camp is hosted at Amani and for the children of the women of Amani.  We had the great joy of running the camp this year with Charlene at the head! We had five stations: salvation story bracelets led by Christian, the story of Creation and reminder of God's love led by Janice, field games led by Jessi and Kaija, fun crafts (slime!) led by Charlene, and a dental hygiene for kids station led by Holly (the kids received toothbrushes, toothpaste, and floss).  We once again want to thank the generous donor of these supplies; the families have been so incredibly grateful!).

Funny story: while on our snack break we all heard a big whoosh sound and then a loud THUMP! Janice turns around and finds that a very large avocado fell from the tree above! It barely missed Charlene who was walking by!  We all had a good laugh and were thankful no one got hurt as the avocado was heavy!

We survived the great avocado fall!;) 

Kaija and Jessi making bubbles for the kids.  The bubbles were a big hit! 

We had such a wonderful day! We were able to share the love of Jesus with these sweet children and had fun to boot! Our prayer is that each of those children know how deep and wide the love of God is for them.  

We ended the day with a team dinner at Carnivore, an all you can eat meat buffet restuarant--it was incredibly delicous!  We were able to taste some pretty wild stuff (crocidile, ostrich and some others).
 
A fun way to end the day!

Thank you for your prayers and support!! They have carried us day by day!
