On Easter Sunday, we had an opportunity to attend a community gathering that works with slum children in their neigborhood.
The first thing that each of the 225 children do when they arrive is step into this little pool of water to wash off their feet. I love the picture of this little guy getting ready to plunge in. Below, you can see the girls in their pretty dresses doing the same. They love coming and today, they will have a special privilege of staying for lunch.

Then they lined up outside the house and waited for things to begin and M helped lead in some songs.
After worship and dramas, the children lined up outside and waited in shifts for the meal. Each child waits until everyone in that shift is served until they begin eating.
We are very encouraged by this ministry. Right now they are being sponsored by a youth camp in Tennessee. Oh, and they also do word in several villages in addition to an orphanage helping a total of over 2000 severely at-risk children.
