Thursday I got a chance to work with my girls again...fun fun! Street Aid has two interns from Berkley who started last week. They jumped in to help.
I arrive at the refuge/shelter about 8:30 each day. Often I hang out and sneak a few pics while the girls complete chores, eat, and get ready for the day. In this pick Rafia and Mama Davi (Dah VEE) are cleaning water bags gathered from the street. They are re-purposed and used to make items for sale.
Aggie is working on a table runner.
I caught Mabel finishing up her breakfast. Mabel is the youngest of the girls (15).
This is Rafia. I have to say that this young woman has captured a piece of my heart. I will write more about Rafia in my next blog. I will share that the time spent with Rafia has been some of the most rewarding and impacting time over the past 2 weeks.
Time to play. All of the games are tied to life lessons and are purposeful as well as fun. This is the human knot. The girls loved it!
This is an exercise that I learned in my Covenant Players days. Blind tag is a fantastic way to talk about the influences in our lives. When do we listen to our own voice, when do we listen to the voice (advice) of others and most importantly how do we keep out the voices that do not have our best interests at heart.
We revisit a relay from last week....foot foot!
a hoot!
This is beautiful Georgina.
I am drawing on trainings/activities from many areas of my life. This is a Link Crew activity (64 Squares).
The end of each of our workshops ends with group pictures. Today we gifted the girls with water bottles. A huge hit. So very practical!
