Crowns

The VBS ended today. An amazing sight to see 130 kids take out a procession through the shantytown settlement where the programme was held - singing songs and wearing golden crowns.

Here are the boys from Sheba's group. Each one of them so bright. So much potential.

Our kids - a good 40 strong - each from families affected by HIV - and some with the disease themselves - mingled in with the other 80 odd kids who were there today. As we looked out over the crowd we could see them like gems, familiar faces popping up here and there.

Many of the children who walked the streets this morning will be wearing crowns forever.
