Monday programs the mothers have been coming in numbers. The numbers are 40-50. The teachings have been effective. The teachers have made teachings to be as simple sa the mothers can understand. We, the team once rewarded those who try to improve in the programs by taking them to see animals.In the bible lessons there is a bible quiz where by mothers answer questions and the best five they are given a shopping voucher to buy food. This will make them desire to read and learn the word of God even in their free time.
The small children have been also coming in large numbers especially this month they recess from school for April
holidays. They have improved in ways such as washing hands before meals, praying before meals and the best improvement is that they have learned to stopped being abusive and using vulgar language. Most of the single street mothers are in school and that has made them feel valued and their parents are taking the responsibility of taking them to school.

The coming month we will start to celebrate their birthdays and this is to make them feel good
about their days of birth rather than cursing it. This time of celebrations will be to give them hope of living and reminding them the good future God has planned for them.

The big boys have been coming in numbers of 85-95. The team has started to look for National Ids for another group. This helps them find jobs and they can be trusted in the jobs areas. The team is also encouraging them to save their money in bank accounts. There are some banks where they can deposit as little they get. This is to encourage them so save rather than using their money in drugs and other bad ways. One of them was baptized on 9th April 24, 2009.The girls have not been coming in big numbers: those who have been coming are those who go to school and we are proud of them because they chose to go to school rather than roaming in streets. It wasn’t an easy thing to convince them but the team tried to show them the importance of going to school.
