Our mission trip team had a meeting on Sunday and we were busy putting together the program for the kids. Our theme for the program is "Individualism" to teach the kids that each one of them is a special, unique creation made by God. We will have three groups of activities for the children: Arts/Crafts, Bible Lessons, and Sports activities. Josh and I volunteered to lead the Sports section of the program. We will have the kids participate in sports and activities that are centered around the theme of Individualism. One idea our team had was to bring a set of golf clubs and show the kids about golf. They may think that is fascinating! Too bad there is not a pool nearby :)
I learned at our meeting that one of the most important things we will be doing is helping the young adults get organized and prepared to put on these programs after we leave at various schools throughout the region. It is similar to a mentor program, where the young adults (around 18-20 years old) invest in the lives of the younger kids. Along with helping the younger kids grow up with a support system, it also gives the young adults purpose as well as unite the communities.
So we continue to learn more about what we will actually be doing while we are over there, and we are getting more and more excited! This small town of Ngaamba has been helped so much since the 410 Bridge started ministering there. They have helped bring clean, accessible water and medical care. Now they are focusing on education and mentoring.
