Hello everyone! Sorry I haven't been great at keeping up this blog but things are busy and going well!
Last week I and Oceans of Mercy's social work Sue-Ann took 6 of the kids to a reading camp in Jeffrey's Bay during their school break. Many of the children cannot read or are not up to their reading level so Oceans of Mercy has partnered with an organization called Global Challenge to put on this reading camp. The kids practiced reading, comprehension, spelling, and did mind strategy games. They also gained confidence in their reading and writing. They all made progress and we are hoping to do it again in December. I really enjoyed the kids and getting to spend this time with them in a smaller group. We also wanted it to be fun for them because after all they were on their break from school so we went to the beach a couple of times, took walks and one night went out for a nice dinner.
This week, a tv channel called ETV has been here doing interviews and taking video of what happens at JJ. They do segments called "Stories of Hope." The hope is that when people see the segments they will want to help support what happens at JJ. Please pray that God would move in the hearts of those who see the segments and want to be a support to Molly & Neels. If there is an online link to the segments I will be sure to post them on here so you can see them also.
Thank you for all your support and prayers. You are as much a part of this as anyone else!
Blessings!
