That same day...

On Saturday before the treasure hunt, we also took photos of the new children for their sponsorship cards (children have sponsors here - similar to Compassion). There were 63 in total - and it was a mission to get them all! Luckily we had Evelyn and Candra to translate for us and someone else to round the kids up and bit by bit we got there.


Later that night, we headed off to celebrate Mark's birthday with real chocolate cake (it's been too long already) and yummy slice too. Mark and Kerry are missionaries from our church that live here and look after the mechanic's workshop and teaching.


Then we got together with everyone in the Training Centre for the monthly birthday celebration. Everyone born in July had to get up the front and dance! There were about 25 children and foreigners up there and it was very funny. They were given coke and chocolate, so it was definitely worth it.

Afterwards, we all sat around in groups on the floor and shared curry puffs and other Indonesian savoury snacks before the kids crowded around the small tv and watched Ironman before bed.
