I went to Leogaqne on Friday to visit some of our kids clubs in South. I had no idea how difficult it was to get to them! We went over miles of tracks which only a very good 4x4 could get along, through, and along rivers, and then we had to walk for 20 mins. We also got stuck in a river on the way, and had to get out and push... The joys of working in a disaster zone. It was so worth it though! The kids were amazing! They were singing songs about malaria, as well as learning all about how to avoid all kinds of diseases and receiving psychosocial support. Then they played games, and had loads of fun. I realised that I need to make time to spend visiting all the work we do to remind myself why I'm here. Noit that I've forgotten, but it was just such an uplifting and encouraging experience that I kind of wished I could spend all my time playing with the kids!.They are so cool! So I have made a mental note to myself to get out to the programme as much as I can and see the difference we are making in people's lives, and see the smiles of the children as they have fun and forget for a little while the trauma they've been through. Here's a video of them playing...
