Day 11–VBS Concludes

Image
Hello friends and family! Thanks for checking in! Today was a wonderful day full of laughter, singing, dancing, crafting and so much more. We woke up this morning, earlier than we would have liked, rolled out of bed and headed to the dining hall for breakfast. We enjoyed our meal, the staff headed off to training, and the team and kids started our third and final day of VBS.   To begin the morning session, we sang some of our favourite songs and played some awesome “repeat after me” games lead by the dynamic duo Sean and Ty.  Ms. Parker taught a lesson asking the question “Who is my neighbour?” The kids participated in discussions and we wrote out all of our thoughts. After the lesson, the kids had the opportunity to make bracelets! One for themselves, and one for a neighbor. They also were able to make a necklace. The kids had a wonderful time making their creations. Even though the beads were a tad bit tiny, the kids giggled and talked as they worked thoughtfully on their br...

Day 13!!

Image
This morning was a bright and early start as the team  went to the Life Training Center to prepare for the day. We gathered our materials and games and started teaching STEM classes early for the older kids, where a mad scientist made an appearance to help aid the learning. After a fun first STEM session with the older kids learning about crystals and vinegar eggs, we then all moved over to Hope House to teach everybody about bridges. After a fun morning building straw bridges, the team left to eat lunch and everyone got some much needed rest before we began the afternoon. The afternoon began with some more STEM lessons as the students began building contraptions for an egg drop. Some contraptions didn’t have surviving eggs after the one story drop, but many were successful! After the egg drop, the team and students split into guys time and girls time. For obvious reasons, I was not a part of girls time so there will be some space at the bottom where a fellow team member will speak...

Day 12: Last Day in Sendafa!

Image
Sendafa Back to Addis Today was day one of STEM!    The goal was to introduce them to the scientific method and how to be inquisitive of the world to learn more about the One who created it.    Today’s experiment / question was “What happens when you add water to corn starch?”    We taught them how to use the scientific method to capture the question, research, and hypothesis.  We then moved into testing our hypothesis by making a significant mess outside mixing corn starch and water which makes…a non-Newtonian liquid!    I won’t go into details, but look up the definition and then mix 1 part water to 2 parts corn starch.    Let us know what happens. ;) Emily’s guitar-playing led us through much of our music repertoire; the kids wouldn’t let us stop singing songs! We cleaned up, had lunch, and then headed back to Addis Ababa.  Getting out of the little village that was home to the retreat center was a challenge. Like a maze, we...
