easter egg hunt in usme/olympics in soacha

Our kids in Usme were treated to a really special event last week when Brittany's boyfriend Andrew arrived for a visit with tons of colored eggs filled with hershey's kisses. To say they were excited about their first Easter egg hunt would be an understatement!

Last weekend, we headed to Soacha to give them the Olympics experience with about 30 kids. It was a little more difficult than it was in Usme as the majority of the kids were under 7 and we didn't have much space to work with. It was a lot of fun and great to work with a new group of kids. Most of the kids in Soacha that we work with live at a foundation for displaced children. They were internally displaced and most have lost their parents in the process. Despite all that they have been through, they are great kids and were really enthusiastic about the program.

This week, we have been at Usme every day kicking off the first of at least 3 vacation bible school programs. It has been very busy and we have learned a lot. I'll update about VBS after this weekend! Again, if you'd like to donate to our VBS fund, click here! Thanks to those who have already generously donated. We really appreciate it!

Love, Kate
