Back in Session!

Great news! Though I don't have any pics from today, I do have fantastic news! The language school is back in session for the boys at the Kids of Hope club as of July 6th 2009! Stay tuned for pictures of the boys back in school!

Tired of those old board games? Try just throwing out the whole board....

Each week before the club starts, the boys have about an hour or more to play games and such. As our gaming supplies and equipment is sometimes very limited, the boys will often resort to a classic game as seen above. I still have to figure out how to play it myself.

"Old School" Telephone

Re-inventing the long distance telephone line here in Burkina Faso!!! The best part is that this call is absolutely FREE!

New Uniforms!

The boys had their first ongoing tournament throughout the month of May! Though quite challenging at times, it was a fantastic new opportunity for them. (seen above) The Fulani boys soccer team poses for their first official pic in their new uniforms [donated from a sponsor in England].

Club Games!

Each week we start out the club with a team game. The rules are simple - if you come to the club, you have to participate. It's a unique opportunity for the boys to work together and have a fun time doing it. (seen above) This little guy was at first considered way too small for the rice sack race; but according to the rules, everyone gets to play.
