Day 7
This morning we attended the worship time with all the jigsaw staff. It was special to see the fuel that fires their work with the children who come from the streets and the sqautter dwellings. The first song was sung in Tegalo, but it was a great one to mix everyone up as we swung arms with someone, then pointed to the ground, stamped our feet and turned around. We then had to find a new partner. By the end of the song we had danced and laughed with everyone in the room. There was also a time given for staff to ask us any questions and we were positioned in hot seats at the front of the room.
After this we interviewed two of the staff members and asked them specifically about their faith and
their work. Jo Ge pointed to Jesus putting the disciples straight when they tried to stop the children from coming close. "Let the children come unto me" She shared how working at Jigsaw had shown that no matter how smelly, dirty or broken the children are it was her and Jigsaws job to allow the children to come to Jesus through them.
This afternoon all the boys came over to our guest house to use the swimming pool and play basketball. While this went on we re-interviewed a few of them. We all had a great afternoon and it was nice to just to relax and then play basketball together. They of course were much better than us although my height is always a not so secret weapon.
From tomorrow we will start the GV's (general views) around the city. This will involve filming anything that relates to the interviews we have chosen for the dvd. It really does feel like we are running down the back straight now with just 3 days to go. Check out both CMS flickr and Dave's flickr for all the recent pics.
