Shiela and I go to play games with the kids, tell Bible stories, do some art or educational games and take snacks. We try to help enrich their lives. The centre has recently moved to a new, larger location which is better for them, but they are still not allowed to leave the compound and there isn’t much for them to do.
The new premises are well outside of town so they get very few
visitors… in fact, we are the only regular visitors and the kids enjoy the time greatly. Having visitors and things to do is a highlight of their week.
Shiela and I really enjoy our time there and having the chance to work together. Most of the kids at our KNA safe home have come from the bantay bata. They love to come with us sometimes and play with the kids who, like themselves, have a tough start in life.
(The children posing for the photo are not from the city refuge… we are not allowed to take pictures inside.)
