game time


I think I'm going to move past talking about the work part of the trip. We basically got everything finished that we set out to do. We did leave some things for the locals to do that I wish we could've finished up ourselves. That'll be next trip..... ;-)


My main responsiblility on this trip was to plan and lead game time for the kids. I love working in game time during AWANA at our church so it was a natural fit for me. The local school was very gracious in letting us use their school yard for our games. The ladies that went on the trip with us witnessed door to door and visited people during the day but they took time out the first day to clean the area up and paint the AWANA circle and square on the ground. To get to the school, we walked about 2 blocks from the church until we hit the main road. We then took a left and walked about a block to this alley in the picture. You can see the school yard in the background at the end of the alley. That's a store on the left of the picture. On the first day we did games, we probably had 25 kids walk with us from the church. School was just letting out so there were a lot of kids just hanging around the school yard waiting to see what was going on.
