The Suubi 2024 Vacation Bible School took place from December 16 to 21, welcoming 260 children—more than double the number from last year. The week was filled with joy as the children played games, made crafts, sang songs, and learned important lessons about friendship, loyalty, forgiveness, and maintaining a positive attitude.
Many of the children arrived hungry due to the extreme poverty in the area, and ensuring there was enough food for everyone was our biggest challenge. Thankfully, we were able to provide meals for all.
On the final day, Santa made a surprise visit, which caused a bit of excitement! To avoid a stampede, the leaders decided to distribute gifts as the children left the center.
This program was a collaborative effort with local churches, which now have the important task of continuing to nurture and support these children. The entire event was a wonderful success, and we are incredibly grateful to our sponsors for making it possible.
For many of these children, who have so little to celebrate during the Christmas season, this program was their Christmas. And it was truly amazing
