Dear Friends
We visited a school in our neighborhood last week to meet with the girls. When the boys saw us come in they requested to join us. The teachers agreed and our "girls only" meeting was brightened up with the attendance of the boys. A motivational speaker talked about self-confidence and the kids listened closely.
After the session we sent the guys away to have a girls only time. We gave out some very needed items. Often girls stay at home and miss school when they have their periods. The panties I brought from the US were a huge hit. The girls enjoyed them very much, it stirred quiet a commotion!
I was able to address the girls too. Talking about relationships, a topic in any culture of kids in that age group. It was hard not using Christian terminology and referring "only" to God in a general way. But what a privilege to speak to them and starting to build relationships. The church is committed to regularly visit the school. That brings joy to my heart!
