We're back from another tiring but fruitful day. John and Jo spent the day at the seminars. They had a great time getting to know the participants and hearing where they came from. We're not sure if it's a cultural thing or a testament to the morning speakers, but when Jo and John returned early from lunch the participants were napping...
Not so much for the kids at the orphanage. Reid, Harvey, Jen and Jeff headed there and were greeted with shouts of "Hello!" and "knees and toes!" John's rendition of "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes" was so good the kids were still singing it the next day. Today, an interpretor joined us, so we were able to share stories and play some organized games. The kids were full of energy and really enjoyed playing with us. Play-dough and coloring pages were a huge hit, and as you can see, Jen's page wasn't quite as good as the kids.
Tomorrow is the last day with the seminar and the orphanage. Ask for perseverance and strength to make this last day count.
