Service- Interact Club (13)

Today was finally the “Easter Party” for the OVC children.

First things first, I arrived in school promptly at 9:30am, I met everyone in Mrs. Henderson’s room, then we divided ourselves into groups, my group leaders were Ashika and Chloe. The plan was to go get the kids then come back to ISK with your group of OVC kids.

Each group was required to complete the following activities: Swimming, Multi-court, Playground and have breakfast. My group had 22 kids, we first went to play basketball at the multi-court, most of the kids just wanted to play with the mini scooter and the hula hoops, they really enjoyed themselves. When it was time to go swimming, they changed their clothes in the changing rooms, most of them were at first very scared to go in the water, but later they had fun playing with each other and splashing water at us everywhere. When 30 minutes was up, we went to have breakfast; the menu was hot coco, chocolate milk, sausages, eggs and mandazis. Yumi!



Today was really amazing, I was especially really happy that all 60 OVC children received clothes, toys and reading books, which we had collected from the clothes drive we did at ISK weeks ago. Dorothy, one of the OVC children, told me that she enjoys spending time with us, because it is really memorable! These OVC days will stay with me, probably for the rest of my life, because I know that I touched a kid’s heart, I reached out to these kids!
