Ruth came home from a short trip to Denmark, where she had had a few days with our boys on Christ's Ascension day (Danish public holiday). Brussels Airlines had donated two extra pieces of luggage on the trip, so there was plenty of room to carry clothes for donations. Ruth drove to the baby home to give some clothes to the kids - and to meet the new kids.
The three new big boys: Edison, Marvin and Gideon got some new clothes, because they really needed it. Scary that two of the boys are 7 and 9 years, but fit clothing in sizes 4 years!
New fine knit sweaters from Ullerød church knitting club
Several of the children from the baby home got some new clothes - to dress the kids nicely goes a long way in giving them back their dignity
School bags for some of the children. These are small bags, but as they do not have textbooks, there only has to be room for some exercise books and pencils
The baby home also had a visit from two Danish child care workers, who had traveled to Uganda as part of a cultural project. They made bonfires with the children, which the children enjoyed very much.
Lighting the fire
It was drizzling, but the kids enjoyed the activity anyway
Children fried bananas in the fire
Namenam :-)
The kids loved the delicious fire-baked bananas
