Girls Club

Dear Aunty Rachel and Uncle Austin,
Today Christine visited us at the Girls Club. Girls Club meets once a week (at the same location as the slum preschool). About 70 girls (ages 9-17) intermittently come to the meetings, which are much like Young Life Events. We sing, pray and learn important life skills such as: the difference between good and bad touching, why it’s more important to study than to have a boyfriend, how to take care of our health, and how not to become victims of sex trafficking.

Christine shared some of your gifts with us today. We enjoyed mapping our interpersonal relationships using the crayons you sent for us. Then she gave us all friendship bracelets so that we could be friends forever! She said that this would help us remember you and that you are praying for our future.

Thanks for your love and friendship. We are sure that our younger brothers and sisters in the preschool will greatly appreciate the puzzles, stickers, pencils and sharpeners. We will also share the crayons with them.

Christine is selfish and she took all the gum and granola bars for herself! But that’s okay… God tells us to forgive : )

We Love You!
