Fun DAY in LUSAKA!!!

The children from Tree of Life had an absolute blast at Saturday's Fun Day at St. Columba's Presbyterian Church here in Lusaka, Zambia!!! A local bible study made up of ex-pats from Europe, South Africa, America, Zimbabwe and other countries donated tickets and funds for our 63 children from the Tree of Life Children's Village to attend a carnival at a local church. My husband and I loved accompanying the entire group as well! There was so much to do from the merry-go-round, ferris wheel, jumping castle and some of our children even got up and sang with the live band!!! Now the ferris wheel and merry-go-round are hand operated and don't even begin to compare with what is available in the states at a theme park but the kids didn't know the difference! They were all smiles and it was the perfect way to tire out a group of 63 energy filled little munchkins. They had a blast eating hot dogs and softies donated from the church as well!!! We even celebrated one of our children's 10th birthday by getting some of the church's cupcakes for sale (luckily they had enough for all of our children)! You can just see the joy in their excited faces in my favorite pictures from Saturday!
