Big, Brown, Beautiful Eyes

Today we went out to a town called Tchunene to visit a program that provides care for women that used to work the streets and their children.  The kids stay at the center all day and night and the women work out in the community.  In order to be in the program and receive care for themselves and their children they have to find work other than working the streets. 

There are 22 kids in this program and they range in age starting at 3 years old.  There are some younger children but they mostly stay with their mothers.  All of the children go to the local school and since there are so many kids that need school and so few schools, they go in different shifts.

When we arrived we got a quick tour of the place and then played and played and played.  All of the children are so sweet and they love attention.  Now that we’ve been to 2 different children’s ministries, there’s something that keeps jumping out at me.  It’s those big, beautiful, brown eyes.  All the Mozambican children have them and they are mesmerizing.

 

 

Daryl made a quick friend with the boy on the right in blue sleeves, named Nando.  He's also quite the eater; he probably had 3 servings of porridge at breakfast.

 

 

Beautiful girls.
