Christmas in July

One of our lady students at GTC has been doing a vacation Bible school every Saturday with our campus kids for the past few months. Last Saturday she organized a party with singing, games, cookies and juice to celebrate the end of their program.

A church in North Carolina sewed and sent more than 50 beautiful pillowcase dresses to share with our kids here in Melut so I shared briefly with the children that these were gifts sent from a church in America. We gave out dresses to the girls and balloons to the boys.

The little girls were so excited for their new dresses

...and promptly tried them on.

Don't they look beautiful?
