Marina never knew that 3 days could be soooo long, yet so short. The past week Marina spent 2 nights away from home - ALONE for the first time ever!! Yes, I know I should be less like a mother hen wanting all her chicks under her wings :)
The camp was held at Mwanga Lodge about 30min drive from Harare and the children were so privileged to spend time in such a beautiful setting. They had game drives, nature walks, canoeing, elephant rides and evenings around a bonfire. On top of this there was a leadership course and various sessions with pastors to equip them for their position of authority.
Needless to say they were exhausted when they arrived back at school late Thursday afternoon. But the experience was awezim!
Some of Marina's photos:

Only God can create something this beautiful,

"Thank you Lord, for all our "riches"
- that our children are blessed to grow up in this beautiful country where we are free to worship you;
- that You are part of all the "baby steps" & giant leaps in their lives;
- that George & I have the awesome privilege to be parents to 4 of Your precious children. "
