At least it covers our food we need and helps with some needs the children have. What is really now also needed are old computers. They have computer lessons but have never ever seen a computer before.

I had come to teach adults but the sadness of the children caught my attention. They did not know what it means to be cared for or to be allowed to play. Children by the age of 3 or 4 years here already working or taking care of younger siblings. They looked ill nourished and had wounds all over. Little by little we cared for them, taught them songs and games. Not only is it my deep belief that Jesus has a special heart for children, but in my studies as an Educator, I studied the Theory of Dr. Maria Montessori who believed that a playing child is a learning child. Playing and making of handcrafts is important for the emotional, social and academical development of a child.<br \/>\n<\/em><br \/>\n<em>So you can imagine what joy fills me seeing these children play, draw and creating clay crafts. <\/em><em>Did not God Himself create out of the ground and said it was good?<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Believe with me that these children will become inventors and visionaries. but most of all that they will never forget that they are loved and have a great purpose on earth.
