School for Street Children and another for Muslim girls

Yesterday we went to visit the Good News Education project. A bus came to pick us up. There were lots of children on board and they welcomed us with great enthusiasm. We picked up some more and went to a Methodist church hall. They were washed, given breakfast and lunch. We all sang songs with them and they had a Bible story. There were 75 children and they were split into 3 groups for literacy, numeracy and English. They were given simple first aid. It's a brilliant project. Amanda plans to go each morning, but it's not for me. Later we visited a project for teenage Muslim girls in a church round the corner. They were stunning and very well behaved. They get tuition and play games. I think Zibby and I will offer English conversation a couple of afternoons a week.
