During the month of October, on three different Tuesdays, the Lighthouse was quite lively with two groups of thirty children coming from a local school. The children came both in the morning and afternoon and stayed here for two hours. Our DTS team took care of the children, preparing special times for them.
The children were separated in three groups and participated in three rotating sessions of 40 minute activities. The children had the opportunity to do skateboarding or skating, a time on the Lighthouse playground, and a time of arts and crafts with a mini-lesson to learn an important value from the Bible.
It was a bit challenging because the children were excited to come here, but everyone on our team could find a way to show them love of Jesus. The work with the school was a great opportunity for us to have contact with the many children living in the slum. It is very good to have the structure of Lighthouse here in the slum to take care of the children enrolled in the schools. It is a great testimony to see a Christian organization taking time to be involved in the community.
It was a real pleasure and a blessing to be involved here at the Lighthouse Community Center!
