Youth club trip !

In march 2008 we started our youth club with around 12 children and since that we have had gatherings once a week. Every Wednesday children gather and having good time with their friends. Now our youth club has been growing and now around 60 children weekly comes for the youth club. We made the first trip in 2009 .

Youth club trip is one of big thing for youths . This year we had our 3rd  youth club trip, 15th october. 45 children and leaders went in a big bus to one of biggest nature park´s in Sri Lanka The youths  spent many hours there, having a good time playing  games, looking at different animals and walking around in the park. It was a big adventure for them.

 After that they went to an air port  museum, where they could look at many different aircrafts. Almost all of the children had never seen an airplane before. It was wonderful day for all the youths.They was very happy after the trip, many of the children have never been on a trip before,  Because their parents can not afford to bring them on a trip.

World Children day !

Blue cross ministry  arranged a children programme on the World Children Day. Around 60 children Participatet for the  programme and they had a good time. They played many games, they got a good message about important things when you are a child, had tea time together and enjoyed as one group. This is the second time we celebrate world children day and it is nice to see that  more children came than last year. We want to help more children and make good environment for them that they feel secure and happy.

Lördagen den 26 juni var det Glasögondag i Blue Cross Ministry. Många människor kom för att få en synundersökning och sedan få ett par glassögon. Många fattiga människor i Sri Lanka har synproblem men har inte råd att köpa glassögon. Så det var många som gladde sig denna dag när de gick hem med ett par glassögon och därför kunde se bättre.

Saturday, 26 June, it was free spectacles day in Blue Cross Ministry. Many people came to get an eye exam and then get a pair of glass eyes. Many poor people in Sri Lanka have vision problems but can not afford to buy glass eyes. So there were many who rejoiced that day when they went home with a pair of glass eyes and therefore could see better.

Men julen i Sri Lanka och Blue Cross Ministry var storartad 2009! Över 350 barn och ungdomar kom och deltog + deras föräldrar en del syskon och även en hel del far- och mor-föräldrar. Det var helt enkelt smokat i Blue Cross Ministry i Poddala, folk fick stå på vägen för att alla skulle få plats.

Det var en härlig dag, ungdomsklubben både dansade hade ett drama och sjöng. Julevangeliet delades och många delade vittnesbörd om vad Jesus gjort i deras liv. Till slut kom också tomten och alla barn och ungdomar fick en julklapp ( skolmaterial ). Det finns mycklet mer att berätta men som man säger en bild säger mer än tusen ord…….
