Our final time with GNCEM today - we stayed the whole morning, helping out and playing with the children. Hopscotch proved to be very popular!
Back with the children we presented a sketch and prayed with them.
On leaving the slum we were taken to a salon where some of the girls who have trained now work.
After lunch Pastor Asis took us to a project in the slums known as the SEED Society.
S - Save
E - Entrust
E - Equip
D - Disciple
We spent some time with the children. They sang us a song and four girls performed a lovely dance. We told them a story and then did a craft with them.
While the children were completing the craft we went next door to the Womens project. While the children are in school the mothers are taught skills to enable them to set up their own businesses, or find employment. We saw a beauticians class being taught.
Back with the children we presented a sketch and prayed with them.
On our return to the hostel we spent some time preparing some items for a visit next week.
All in all a very busy day. Tomorrow there is a nationwide strike so we will be spending some time with one of the BMS missionaries who lives on the compound and taking some time to get some much needed rest after the last few days.
