After another restful night, everyone was back to tip top shape, including our friend and honorary team member from Norway (never been there, but I hear it’s beautiful) Hanne! The HoM staff were at their retreat again, so Daniel, Daniel, and Hanne had the delight to just play with the children. Thankfully older teens came to help, and Marsha planned this AMAZING scavenger hunt to kick off the day where the children ultimately found the treasure consisting of delicious candy. It was a joyous day of dancing, singing, laughter, and fun! Read some short snippets below, but we promise we will be sharing more in person when we return back to Canada!
Daniel P. spent a large part of his day being the ultimate berry farmer. Not only did the children swarm him due to his ability to reach high places where the juiciest berries were, he was also able to throw them up in the air and catch them, which Little Vasya loved! As each day passes, we all get to experience new adventures with the children and grow a little closer together.
Although we didn’t have designated singing time today, the speaker was on playing camp songs all day. Our God was a huge hit, followed by Jesus in the Boat. Everyone wanted the speaker as close to them as possibly so that they could sing along and do the actions!
When it got a tad hot outside, the children went inside to decorate their MAKEDO project! As usual, Lucas drew a giant machina (car) and others joined in as well to add colour to the castle. How lovely is it to see all the children working together!
One main reason why the children were super excited today was that all the boys got a new hairstyle, including our own Daniel C! At the end of the afternoon, all the boys looked very handsome with their new haircuts, with some even getting cool designs shaved into the sides of their heads. Oksana worked overtime to ensure the girls all got their hair styled as well! There was no one that didn’t look fresh, fashionable, or fabulous!
