DE-WORMING!

On Friday, Erin and I had the opportunity to go with a volunteer group from a church in Johannesburg to another one of the care centers to give hundreds of kids their de-worming pill and Christmas presents! We spent a few hours at the Hands base in assembly lines as we put together about 600 Christmas goody bags. We grabbed a quick bite to eat and then headed to the care center called “Clau Clau Joy”. When we arrived we unpacked everything and started making peanut butter sandwiches – a lot of peanut butter sandwiches! Kids started showing up and while they waited they got their faces painted and played games.

So let me tell how things went:
The kids lined up at the door and once their name was recorded they came inside to get their de-worming pill, followed by a cup of juice, a peanut butter sandwich, a bag of chips, a water bottle and their Christmas present. I mean how great for these kids hey? It was a lot of fun and kids of all ages came, from toddlers to teenagers. At the end of the day we figured out that we had about 570 kids come, which is the most they’ve ever had! So great!
