                                              Remote Village Walking Tour

                              Today Students enjoyed a Village Walking Tour and spent time
                                     with students of St Jean-Paul Vianney's primary School.


They had nothing, they gave it all. We arrived to smiling faces and were welcomed with open arms. After prayer and a formal introduction, all the children sang for us. Each class introduced the special dish they had prepared for us. We then read, played and sang with the students and connected with many in a very special way.   We were treated like honoured guests, and ate Lap Lap and other ethnic dishes all  done by the children since 7:30am!  After lunch, we endeavoured to paint 130 faces, and soon enough there were cats, tigers, flowers girls and butterflies coming to life. Torrential rain did not stop us running after the soccer in the mud. All in all a fun and very moving day!

A truly unforgettable day
A humbling and touching experience!
We left with tears and smiles and everything in between!!
