Does anyone else remember the old cartoon Laff-a-lympics? The Scoobie Doobies, the Yogi Yahooeys, and the Really Rottens? I Googled it to get the name of the teams and boy, am I getting old!!!Anyways, we had our very own Laff-a-lympics when we hosted about 30 kids from Leratong Children’s Home. Our interns have been working there for the past several weeks, and they did an amazing job with setting up this day of celebration and fun!!
Divided into teams, the kids competed in games such as soccer drills, paintball shooting, video game racing, and other relays. It was such a blessing to see the kids light up as they tried new things - like video games which are so common in the US that we take them for granted. I was like a kid again as well when I got my hands on a paintball gun!
At the end of the day, everyone left with a great prize, a huge smile, and the assurance of how much they are loved by us and by Jesus Christ. It was a very special day for very special kids!
you look awesome!! glad you guys had such fun!
