Sudanese Kids Celebration November 20, 2010
Mar 23, 2016
It was a team effort in Houston as Aid Sudan prepared for the Sudanese Kids Celebration – an annual event that encourages education and provides Sudanese children with the necessary school supplies. In the making for some time, this event included many individuals and organizations coordinating efforts to make it a special day for the kids.
The players: Humble Area’s First Baptist Church gathered school supplies. Regina Sebit and the local Sudanese community scheduled meetings and phone calls to get organized. Volunteers from RAM (Refugee Assistance Ministries) and Aid Sudan organized the day’s festivities that included Bible stories, games and ice cream. Sudanese volunteers stuffed gift bags with school supplies.
The event: On Saturday, November 20, over 40 children, along with American and Sudanese volunteers, gathered together at ChristChurch Presbyterian in Bellaire to laugh, play and receive the school supplies donated for the event. After listening to a Bible story about how Jesus loves children, the kids enjoyed festivities that included ice cream, jump rope, parachute games, the limbo, tug-‐of-‐war and basketball. And on a little more serious note, the kids received a pep talk on working hard in school.
Thanks to the Sudanese Executive Team, Humble Area’s First Baptist Church, RAM, and all volunteers who worked together to make this a special day for the Sudanese children! As Sudanese and Americans come together, the community is impacted for good by the love of God's people and the power of the Gospel.
