Prodigal son.

 Wednesday

Last week it was fun time. I told them the story about a prodigal son from the bible in Hindi. All the kids were in a small circle. The story was explained to them and I gave examples. It was so nice to hear one child shout ‘sugar’ when I was telling them that he was feeding the pigs. In Hindi it is called suver but this young  boy was saying sugar .lol 

After the story time I got all the kids in a line and distributed them in two teams to play foot ball match for last 20 mins. It was so hard to control them especially when the big trucks were coming around.

Both the teams had fun.

Then on Thursday I took some worksheets based on the prodigal son for colouring, I did a very shot summary of the story before they started colouring the sheet in groups.

Today I went  with waste paper  with which we made  around  50 airplanes and asked them to colour it as they wanted .After this they  had a race to see whose plane would fly  the longest. Over all it was such fun with all the kids. Please keep these kids in you prayers..

The things I observed. Subhash a 12 year old boy came to me said, ‘bhiya I have won 200 rupies today’. I asked him how he won them. No other way but by playing juva ( gambling) with other boys.

I asked him what he would do with it? He told me he would give it to his mother.

I sat down with him and suggested that he should think about admission to a school and explained to him that what he is doing is not good for him. I had a good talk with him. I pray that he takes my advice and makes changes in his life.

Today Subhash and two other boys were a great help to me in making airplanes.
