Breakfast was not ready yet because they left earlier, so, only older children who said they could skip breakfast and take it later went to church.
The children celebrated the X-mass season with special soup made from the donated goat. It was slaughtered and half was cooked for them.
Half was preserved and this has been cooked for them. They enjoyed groundnut soup and fufu for 2 lunches from it. They are happy.
