"Bee" Party

Our last party in Chimala was a great "Bee Party" planned by Muriel and Debbie E. It was fun and well-attended.
The first photo shows a wall decoration. On each of the "bees" is the name of one of our readers. It is very empressive to see so many names on the wall and to realize that each of them had spent many hours in English practice/Bible study! Some of them read for one hour per day five days per week for six weeks!



Muriel had made each of us Americans a "bee" bandana. She also made a few to give away for prizes, and everyone wanted one!



For the icebreaker, a picture of an animal was pinned on each guest's back. Each person then had to go around to other people and ask "yes or no" questions in order to guess what animal was on thisback. There were a lot of cheaters!
The medical students from Ireland are in some of the photos. They were very helpful during the games, and they added lots of enthusiasm.








There were several games, including one in which people threw beanbag "bees" into the "beehive" baskets.









Another game involved giving each team a group of letters and then calling out a word for the team to "build". The words came from our Luke study.


Following is Tam's team.


The next photo is of Atupele's little girl. Atupele is a teacher in the primary school and was a great help to us.


Next is Winfrida's daughter and Nazareth and Winfrida. Nazereth is the secretary for the Bible College and the School of Preaching. Winfrida works at the hospital. Both were readers.



Refreshments were passed out to everyone.



Everyone had a great time. There was fun, laughter, and visiting ----and getting to know one another better. Our readers really enjoy parties!! I do have to say that we were glad that this was the last one, as the parties are a lot of work!
(There are two other new posts published today before this one.)
