The children recently had a two week holiday from school (the education system here is set up in three terms, so they have holidays after each term). Refilwe organized a programme for the children in the nearby communities to attend during this break. The children came from 10:00am-3:00pm. They played games, sang, had discussion sessions, played games and put puzzles together, and watched movies. On one of the last days, I helped organize some relays and games, including an egg race and an obstacle course on the jungle gym sets. On the last day, they were told about the meaning of Easter and had a treasure hunt to find chocolate covered marshmallow eggs. Lunch was provided each day and a chicken braai (BBQ) was held on the last day. It was a great way to stay connected with the community children and provide something fun for them to do during their holidays.
