My trip to BOC

On last Friday we were to organize a FUN-day for all the kids at BOC - Body of Christ Childrens Centre, a school/orphanage for the local kids. So what we did was to buy in fruit, balloons, beads and paint and we planned out several fun activities for the kids to try!

BOC is a very poor local school and orphanage, and it was very difficult seeing how the kids lived, and at what standard. It was therefore very important to us all that we would make a fantastic day for the kids, so they could have fun and forget, at least for a few hours, the hard life they have and enjoy some fun activities!

After their lunch we started off with some games like Tag, Stuck in the Mud and other childhood games. We then painted a board with the hand prints of all the kids for them to hang up on the wall. The kids had a great deal of fun playing around with the paint, coloring not only the board, but also the pavement and stones surrounding the school... and all the volunteers' clothes! Hehe...



We also had balloon races, a stand where they could make bracelets, and the guys organized some small football games with some of the children. In all it was a great success, the kids had a lot of fun, and we all left with a bunch of great memories!

If you want to see more pictures simply go under "Kenya" and they should be on the top!
