Bangbet’s visit to Emali was a day of joy and excitement, especially for the children who welcomed us with open hearts. Step into the shoes of the children as they share their experiences and the joy that filled their day during Bangbet’s visit to Emali.
A Day to Remember
For many children at the Emali children’s homes, the visit from Bangbet was a day they had eagerly anticipated. James, a 10-year-old boy, recalls waking up early with a sense of excitement. “We couldn’t wait to meet the visitors and see what surprises they had for us,” he says. The anticipation was shared by all the children, who looked forward to a day filled with fun and new experiences.
A Warm Welcome
The children’s enthusiasm was evident from the moment Bangbet’s team arrived. Lucy, an 8-year-old girl, participated in the welcome ceremony with her friends. “We sang and danced to welcome our guests. It was so much fun,” she shares. The traditional songs and dances not only showcased the children’s talents but also created a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Learning and Growing
In addition to the sports activities, the children benefited from educational sessions. Maria, a 9-year-old girl, attended a tutoring session on mathematics. “The teachers were very kind and helped us understand our lessons better. I learned so much,” she shares. The educational sessions not only provided valuable learning opportunities but also instilled a sense of confidence in the children.
Receiving with Gratitude
One of the most memorable moments for the children was the distribution of donations. Each child received a care package filled with essentials and goodies. Emily, a 7-year-old girl, could hardly contain her excitement as she opened her package. “I got new clothes, books, and even a toy! It was like Christmas,” she says with a big smile. The children’s gratitude was evident in their beaming faces and heartfelt thank-yous.
Fun and Games
The day was packed with activities that brought immense joy to the children. Football matches, relay races, and other games were organized, and the children participated with boundless energy. Peter, a 12-year-old, enjoyed playing football with the volunteers. “We played as a team and had so much fun. It felt like we were part of a big family,” he says.
Building Bonds
The visit also provided an opportunity for the children to form bonds with the volunteers. David, a 13-year-old boy, found a mentor in one of the Bangbet volunteers. “We talked about my dreams of becoming a doctor. He gave me advice and encouraged me to study hard,” he shares. These interactions left a lasting impact on the children, giving them hope and inspiration for the future.
Sharing Stories
Throughout the day, the children shared their stories and experiences with the volunteers. Anna, an 11-year-old girl, enjoyed telling the visitors about her school and friends. “They listened to us and cared about our stories. It made us feel important,” she says. These conversations helped bridge the gap between the children and the volunteers, fostering a sense of community and understanding.
A Day of Laughter
Laughter was a constant companion during the visit. The children’s laughter echoed through the grounds as they played games, shared jokes, and participated in activities. Michael, a 10-year-old boy, recalls a funny moment during a relay race. “One of the volunteers tripped and fell, but he got up laughing. It made us all laugh too,” he says. These moments of shared joy created memories that the children will cherish for a long time.
Looking Forward
As the day came to an end, the children expressed their hopes for future visits. Sarah, a 9-year-old girl, summed up the feelings of many. “We hope they come back soon. We had so much fun and learned a lot,” she says. The visit from Bangbet left a positive impression on the children, filling them with hope and excitement for the future.
