From the 12th till the 17th of January we received six university students from the CIMA-Peru conference to help out with the work here in Huanuco. The group of students traveled to Huanuco for a week of Vacation Bible School which served as the start of the new year of work for Kushis.
During the week of vacation bible school, more than a 120 children in the community participated in the daily classes. The major themes of the week were: a real relation ship with God and the importance of friendship. These lessons and themes were taught through games, drawing, singing, and having a fun time.
We would like to share with you the thoughts of Brith Casanova, one of the students who helped out during the week:
"I never imagined were God would take us in following His Word and His Will. When, when I reached Huanuco, I could see and understand the context, the needs of people and especially the needs of the children. During this week of service I have had an extraordinary experience. The first day it was hard for me to understand all the work with children, but little by little, God was speaking and understanding flourished, we saw hope in the small faces and arms outstretched waiting for a hug. In Huanuco, a small place in the world, there really is a great need and it is time we act."
2009 Kushis Winaykan for this to work with 150 children in two major areas:
Scholastic Reinforcement: Focusing on Spanish understanding and math
Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday
Bible Study: Every Saturday
During the week the team of volunteers meets periodically to prepare the materials and visit the children in their house. We ask for your prayers for all of the team this year that they will have the energy, resources, and time to give the attention and caring that every child deserves
