Our first week went awesome we had around 45 kids with many more wanting to come but its exam week so many stayed to study.
We had lots of fun in our groups learning and reading together.
The kids really loved the opportunity to just relax and have free time to look at books and then borrow something to take home.
The kids loved the opportunity to sit with a leader and read together .
The kids love that they get a banana when they come on time.
We are trying to teach time management which is a new concept for many people here :)
THE FIRST WEEK
Trying to make letter A with their bodies.
Our second and third week we have had over 50 kids and more helpers coming on board.
We are now in to school holidays for the next 3 weeks so are now running the program 3 days a week.
This is a big undertaking for our volunteers and myself but we know the children are loving it and benefiting.
We hope to be able to have enough support to be able to start to pay our social workers a wage by October.
We are in need of more books so please be praying about this for us.
We already have lots of parents asking will be running classes for adults from the slums too - this is something we hope to do when funds allow.
We are also looking in to the cost of moving in to the actual slums so we can make the most impact!
Exciting days.
We will post more photos in the coming weeks of our precious kids learning.
