More kids helping kids

So a while ago I took 13 boys from the Village of Hope to Home of Hope disability home for the day where they did some cleaning and painting and spent time with the kids. Click to see post.

This week I took (I think it was) 20 girls aged 11-18 from the Village of Hope to the same place so they could also experience what it was like.

We had such a good day, a group of 6 of the girls spent over an hour washing clothes (by hand) for the home as the children go through numerous clothes each per day.

 Some of the girls pushed kids around outside in the wheelchairs.

They spent time sitting and holding the babies and children who can't crawl or sit up, and singing to them - it was lovely to see them caring for the children like that.

Esther was brilliant she spent time with so many of the children really trying to let them have fun, she even spent time with Prossy who is 24, has hydrocephalus (large head due to build up of fluid on the brain) and lies on a bed all day. She was put in a wheelchair and Esther spent a long time just speaking to her in local language, singing and reading a book with her.

The girls mopped the floor throughout the home and enjoyed some rice, posho and beans for lunch.

They also pushed the children on the swings which the boys painted and put up a few weeks ago when I brought them!!

Again, it's great to see kids who have been saved from suffering and given better lives, visiting and spending time with less fortunate children.
