Cute, cute, cute. We visited a kindergarten in Kamwenge that is run by Parents Concern. The little munchkins (60 of them) were waiting for us and waving streamers as we pulled up in the bus. They sang to us and we all ate lunch. We gave the teachers school supplies and handed out beanie babies and suckers to the kids. For those of you that have bins full of beanie babies in your basement, now you know how you can put them to good use! This facility is linked to GFR in that there a sponsored families that have children that attend this school.
Deb and Diane raised money in the US to buy bicycles for GFR workers. We were able to present 6 sparkling new bikes to the staff while we were there!
On the same property is a vocational center that teaches sewing, dyeing and design. We bought some of their African handmade shirts and dresses to support their project. We also bought many beads and baskets from the local widows.
