School's Out!!

After a few stressful weeks of end term examinations, the kids at Angel House are happy to be able to relax and have a month off from school. They look forward to having some fun and not having to worry about school for a bit although the adults have some tutoring planned to allowed weaker students to catch up, or enable other students to keep improving. Education sure is important! 

Prior to getting out of school, the Angel House Secondary School Students had a talent show (some of the kids from Angel House Orphanage were involved) and since they hosted it in the orphanage, it was lots of entertainment for all. It included singing, dancing and acrobatic acts, soda tasting, eating competition and a "Miss Angel" contest. The audience were well entertained despite being packed in together like sardines.

A few weeks ago, Angel House also welcomed 2 new little angels. All the kids a pretty thrilled and are happy to be watching over them or playing with them. They were pretty timid when they first arrived but they are adjusting well and are slowly coming out of their shells and enjoying being fussed by all the older kids.  


Jackson and Neema

Neema and Jackson were brought to Angel House after losing their parents in a tragic accident. They were all on a piki (motorcycle) when the accident occurred and leaving Neema and Jackson without parents. Two of our missionary volunteers Roy and Valarie (who have recently returned to the U.S.) agreed to sponsor them if the authorities would bring them to Angel House so here they are! They're favorite things to do is taking naps and playing on the swing. They are quite the independent individuals and might sometimes get frustrated if you try to help them with the "little things". I'm sure they will get even more love and attention now that all the other kids are out of school and will be around the orphanage all day.
