Day 13!!

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 11–VBS Concludes

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 14!!

THINGS GOT CRAZY TODAY (in a good way)…. We started the day with a divine breakfast at the hotel—our team very much enjoys the freshly made omelets. Then we went to the LTC and got all our supplies together for a packed day of STEM…. This morning at Hope House we were greeted with the biggest smiles and lots of hugs. Throughout this week each kid has opened up to us in their own way. It’s been so special to learn from them, hear about their dreams, and continue to build relationships. It’s an honor these amazing kids have trusted us so much, they allowed us to come into their home, and they have shared their stories with us.  For STEM today we started with “the strength of eggs”, testing how much weight four eggs could hold. The eggs held 50kg in total—25 kg of textbooks plus two different kiddos! The third HFTF child who volunteered finally broke the eggs!  Next we had fun blowing up Coca-Cola and mentos on the patio. We tried different caps that changed the way the coke spra...
