Day 13 & 14 (Thursday and Friday)

It's hard to believe we have come to the last days at the Nyamithuthu Center which also means the last days of the Vacation Bible school. This week, we have had an increasing number of children attending every day. We find it very special that the older, mature boys really enjoy and focus on coloring the parable pictures. Our good-byes to the staff and children were brief, as there were many interviews and meetings at the center for cooking mothers, guards, and with the children being chosen for high school. Although it is exhausting to work in the heat with so many children that have an abundance of energy, we are all sad to be leaving behind the teachers and children we have built connections with!

On our drive back up the mountains, we stopped at a woman from the Netherlands' program called Ahava Ministries. She runs a clinic, a vulnerable elderly adults meal program, a soap making shop, and grows and prepares the vitamin supplement powder used by the Timotheos centers. It was impressive to see the work she does there!

We are thankful for all the many experiences we have had, and are looking forward to a few days of relaxation and seeing more of this beautiful country!
