Just Plain Fun.

Just goofing around can be such an outlet for these boys.

The Book of Acts - Craft Time

This week we wrapped up the book of Acts at the Kids of Hope club. Though the group was quite small (roughly 12 boys), we had a good time making small prison windows to go along with the story of Paul under house arrest (Acts 28:16-31). This weekend is also the end of Ramadan, (a very large celebration here in Burkina and around the world within the Islam religion) so we are hoping that many of the boys who are out of the city or busy this week are able to return next Saturday.

New Location for Kids of Hope Starts Out "Old School."

Due to all the rain here in Ouaga, the ground is still very saturated. We have been waiting for days for things to dry out completely before we can install the shelter (which will be just to the left of the tree pictured in the photo above). In the mean time, we are having the club the way it would be done out in the village - in the shade of a tree. So far - so good!
