Mixed hearing-deaf holiday club, King’s Kids, builds scriptural understanding, friendship & leads to deaf education partnership.

Kings kids 17th– 21Jan 2011 Psalm34:8 ‘Taste and see that the Lord is good’


It was an absolute blessing to coordinate this new venture in Arua with a strong core of 4 staff and an additional 6 support staff 3 of whom were deaf. The enterprising support was just right.

In total we had 26 kids and 5 of them were deaf or hard of hearing. The aim of the week was to explore what it really means to be a Christian by doing lots of practical team building activities including our own special pilgrimage hike. Netty Hayes of All Saints Infant School Bedworth blessed events not only with her tremendous administrative support but with the wonderful parachute games which became a daily highlight. “What’s next?” Was the final request of kids/parents alike

At the end of the week we donated the parachute to the Eruba School Deaf Unit.


The Headteacher Sebastian was thrilled.
