“KIDS HELPING KIDS” 
EELC-HPN/ELCIC MNO-SYNOD ORPHAN PROGRAM
 REPORT OF ACTIVITIES FOR DECEMBER 2011

JINGLE BELLS, JINGLE BELLS, JINGLE ALL THE WAY… was our song of the year taught by our Grandma Valerie which was used to introduce the Christmas Feast. There has always been a difference year after year and December 2011 was just so wonderful. Not only were the kids thrilled by the “Jingle Bells song” which they learnt and sang on spot but there was much to share with each other. The word of God, teaches us that Jesus was born to save mankind and His birth is as a result of God’s love to the world such that He sent His only son… After the kids have proven their knowledge of the Holy Scripture, we prayed and committed all in God’s hands.

           “Mama Cookies” as the kids called Valerie, had prepared some delicious ones (cookies) from rosins, Quaker oats, chocolate and bananas. There was also the local fulerie drink made by Mrs. Fanta who also made Doo nuts, popcorn and roasted groundnuts added to some biscuits packed in small plastic bags. Bracelets were a long awaited gift from the mother  (Val) of these little ones. There were of many colors; green, yellow, pink and purple and the kids were allowed to choose which color they loved best but the girls could get the pinks and purples while the boys could choose between the green and yellow. These bracelets carry the message JESUS VOUS AIME! GOD IS STRONG AND SO WILL I REMAIN STRONG! The Plastic bags and their contents were to be taken home for consumption with the rest of the family members while all the other food items and drink were to be consumed on the spot.  There Christmas Feast ended with a prayer and benediction from the Rev. Jack.

  We then moved to the container where the heavy food packages were prepared containing 4kg of rice, 3kg maize, 2kg raw groundnuts and 800g of powdered milk which was one of the items whose quantity was increased and will from then be permanent on the list of food items.

TO GOD BE THE GLORY!
