Party

This morning I had the fun of helping to do a party at the Miyuji Cheschire home for mentally and physically handicapped children. Some of the children have parents, but even if they do they often can't cope. I've heard that some parents will lock their children in cupboards because they don't know what to do with them. Anyway four of us from MAF put on a very early Christmas party, including singing, craft, playing on the slide, bikes etc that we took, water balloons, samosas, sodas and finally a small goody bag for each child. The kids loved it and it was great to see how happy it made them. Their normal life is pretty boring, and it was wonderful to bring some colour and excitment to their lives. Here are a few pictures of the morning. The little boy I'm holding (and sitting on the chair) is 4 years old!! (older than Bethany).
