Visiting Schools & VBS

This week we have had a team here that has done an amazing job of reaching out to the Jamaican Children. For three days we got up early and went to a school where we did a morning assembly and devotion.
Day 1, this was the largest school we visited
Day 2, Jacks River School
Day 3, Boscobel Primary School
The children were very excited to have visitors from America. One thing that really touched my heart was the love and pride they have for their country. Every school recited the pledge to the flag and sang their national anthem; I remember doing that in school when I was little. It's a shame that our country doesn't allow our children to grow up learning about our country's foundation.
After school the team did a Vacation Bible School (VBS) type program at the youth center for the neighborhood kids.
Arts and Crafts
There were different stations set up and the children would rotate to the different areas.
Sports and Recreation
Snack time!
Teaching the kids a new song
Every night more kids would come.
It was a good week.

Children were loved on and good memories were made.

It was a busy and tiring week, but this is what it's all about.
