We had a lot of fun on Friday taking a lesson with year five at Horringer Court Middle School - talking about life for street children in the Philippines and our plans for the House of Joshua children's home.

They asked a lot of really good questions about the implications of living rough on the streets in poverty as well as about bugs, creepy-crawlies, snakes and the like!

This forms part of an ongoing plan to develop cultural links between the school and the House of Joshua so that the children can learn about life in other countries. It will also form part of the middle school's enterprise project - to raise money for charitable causes.

Later in the day the children did some more work based on our talk, which they were able to share with parents who came into the school in the afternoon.

Here's a couple of the beautiful posters that they made (the pictures are a bit fuzzy as they were taken on a mobile phone).

If anybody else in the Bury St Edmunds area would like us to do a talk please give us a ring or send us an email
