Yesterday we returned to Itekeng to spend time with all of the school children. They are always so welcoming and eager to have visitors.
But, one of the most exciting things from the day was seeing the children with all of their school packs! In January, myself and several students from Up with Down’s distributed these packs to all of the children. You can read more about this experience from our previous blog post here. It was such a thrill to see their smiles and know that we were able to make an impact in these children’s lives and provide for some of their needs.
Many of the students were still hanging on to the cards and were so eager to show off who had made their school packs. The students from Up with Down’s have truly made a lasting impression.
The afternoon was finished off with some games of soccer, netball, and frisbee. A wonderful bonding time for everyone and of course a time filled with even more laughter and excitement.
A great day, full of reminders that God see’s and is working in the lives of these children. It’s often in these small moments that I am most able to see the beautiful hands of God. Looking forward to more days to come.
