Just a few snapshots of our summer outreach programme:
the team, some children waiting for the programme to begin, "Be bold, be strong", "You are special" sketch, craft, presentation of the book "365 Bible stories" for the school library, getting to know some of the children after the programme, a message to leave behind!
