Report of 17th July
Report by Benno en Thecla

Yesterday in the evening we have visited two houses in the SOSVillage. That visit gave us a beautiful impression how everything is arranged inside the houses.

Young and older children look after each other. Beside that the mothers and aunts take care that everything went like clockwork. In the two houses we felt a beautiful warm living together of the children. It was beautiful  that we were in the opportunity to visit them.
Every body is busy with preparing the big festival that they will present for us. We only have to wait for that.

At 4.30 PM starts the festival, special organized for us!! Carlos starts with a special word of thanks in Dutch. We are sitting outside in a circle on benches and the Model T is in the middle.
