Day of Thanksgiving

On Friday at the school we had a day of Prayer and Thanksgiving.  We celebrated that all lives were spared in the fire.  The parents of the kids were invited.  This was very exciting for the kids.  The parents could bring what they wished for them.  That means different food that they do not get at school.  The day started with the parents coming and then having a chance to meet with the parents.  Then at 11:30 there was a program were the kids got to share and sing.  There was reports about the fire as well as the costs to rebuild.  The program was over at 1 and then everyone broke for lunch and more time for parents to meet with teachers.  It was a great day filled with much appreciation and joy.

Maritha is a girl from Rwanda.  She has been going to PACE for many years and stays with Pastor Mugo and his family when school is out of session.  I have gotten to know her through them and is a part of the family.  Since Pastor Mugo and his wife Faith are in the US and Canada until July I had asked if Charity (Mugo's daughter) and Charity's daughter Imani could come to visit with Maritha.  I kept is a surprise for Maritha.  It was good to see her smile when they came.

Imani being the cutie she is.
