Our first day at the Parry Town Basic School

These are the beautiful children of the Parrytown Basic School! We spent the morning doing puppet shows, games, crafts, and snacks, all themed around the story of Jonah. There were about 60 kids, and we fell in love with all of them. Our students have already found their "Alex" I think... It's so precious to see them attached at the hip with their favorites. Miss Vickie did an amazing job leading the team, from the way she prepared before the trip to the way she managed everything on site. You would never have guessed it was her first missions trip! There were 3 rain showers in the 3 hours we were there, and because most of the children have asthma, we have to bring them inside when it rains. This certainly complicates our situation since all of our activities are planned and spread out in stations outside, but Vickie and the team rolled with the punches and made everything flow seamlessly!
