After School Club in Karibib

We had the opportunity to work alongside a short-term mission team that came to Arandis from the Tampa, FL area. My (Steve) main participation was with the after school clubs (kinda like VBS) that we did in Usakos and Karibib (both close to 1 hour drive away from Arandis). The following pictures are from our time in Karibib.

above: the ages of people who came ranged from infants to adults

above: the venue was a stage area behind a local bar - which was sorta strange, but it worked! Of course, that meant that at times I had to play "security guard" in keeping the inebriated adults from interfering too much.

Above: even the adults listened in carefully to the stories of Jonah, David & Goliath, etc.. Some even enjoyed the crayons and coloring pages that were passed out. We enjoyed the opportunity to include them.

above: everywhere you look around here you find babies on the backs of people - even on the backs of their 6 or 7 year old siblings.

Next year we expect to play host to a team from our home church in Chantilly, VA in doing some similar things with children. If you would like to know more about joining the team from VA please send me an email at reachnamibia@yahoo.com
