Swamp day and Children's Day!

 Thursday was a school field trip up th river to the swamp! Great fun!! This is a fishing camp on the bank of the river. So not a permanent village but people will spend time here fishing before returning to their village.
 How many men can you fit in a canoe? Apparently this was a rugby team going downriver for a game! They didn't have much freeboard!
 Some of my students (from left Ken, Issachar, Abel and Shem). I think the favourite part of the trip for them was seeing of they could shot birds with the slingshot.
 Exploring up a river into the swamp. Great fun, with crocodiles, creeper vines, funny looking Dr Suess trees and torrential rain.
 When it wasn't raining it was lovely. Saw a few crocs poking their heads up in this spot.
 Saturday was a kids day for the surrounding villages which was good fun. Here te older kids are doing some bible quiz games and getting ready for some relays.
All the kids learning "Jesus got heaps of lambs". I didn't teach them the verse about ninja turtles as they had no idea what ninja turtles are but we made up a few verses that were more relevant to PNG. Went down a treat.!

Off the a village for a few days this week to check out a school. Should be great.
