Two
weeks ago it was national children´s day here in Brazil, and at community center
Casa Semear we organized a very special party for our group of young kids (5-7
years old) who participate daily in Casa Semear´s program.
For the
first time, these Super Little Ones (a name they themselves came up with for
their group) had their very own camp-in
party at Casa Semear! The group of more or less 20 kids arrived on Friday morning
around 10am and they had a lot of fun during the whole program that lasted till
Saturday 1pm.
The kids
had a great time together: lots of fun during the many games; they did lots of arts
and crafts, had barbecue for lunch, decorated their own piece of cake,
participated in a photo-shoot, jumped a LOT on the big trampoline we set up
right in the middle of the house, watched a movie, worshipped God and slept in real
tents!!
What for
us as a team became two extremely exhaustive days (this couldn´t be any
different of course ;0), for the kids became two days filled with joy, fun and
friendship! When we look back on it, we say: It was definitely worth it! It´s
so great to be able to offer these kids a different environment for a bit, a
day full of laughter and joy, a time to just have fun and to forget for a while
about the problems they, although still very young, already face in their lives…
We want
to thank every one of you who cooperated with us to make this party happen! Be
it through your prayers or by giving us a hand: Thank you so much! We specially
want to thank uncle Walter and aunt Rose: thank you so much for your presence
and support!
The team of Casa
Semear
