NBC Mission Team Update
Today was an amazing day for us and the NBC Team as we held Two Tunic's first of a kind "Creche Health Awareness Event" (creche = pre-school). This event was targeted to the creche teachers, helpers and parents but also to the children. Many of the basic child health, safety, hygiene and child development concepts that are common sense to us are not widely appreciated or practiced by the parents and caregivers of the children in the creches we support. The event brought together the teachers, helpers and parents from the 3 creches we support in the Gamalakhe township.
The NBC Team gave talks on hand washing, oral hygiene, child safety, basic first aid and importance of play in child development. some involved the children and others were focused on educating the parents and caregivers. Each child was given a packet with toothbrush, toothpaste, soap and other gifts. Each child also received a T-shirt saying "Jesus Loves Me" in both English and Zulu ("Ujesu uyangithanda").
Here's a few photos of the event.
Pastor Ranjeeth and Donna Seepersad put on a puppet show that the adults enjoyed as much as the children. We are so grateful that the team was here to enable us to put on this program. Tomorrow we will do another full day program in a rural community focusing on HIV/AIDS education. Hopefully we won't wear the team out! But we are putting them to good use and God is blessing us and many others.
