Meet Baby Peace

Baby Peace is the kindergarten class I assist with in the mornings. Within the four walls of this classroom sit Uganda's most precious babies ever...not that I'm partial or anything!

Teachers: Justine and Barbara

Justine, who I have mentioned several times, is absolutely my angel sent from the Lord. She is compassionate toward me, tender hearted toward the children, with just enough spice to keep me laughing!

Barbara is also a sweetheart and reminds me of Maria in The Sound of Music...she is always singing to the children with the most beautiful voice. And always songs of God's character...His love, faithfulness, goodness.

Meet the kids!
Lennon
Jonah
Enock, loves to call me over to his table to show my pretty much anything...he just wants my attention which I gladly poor out!
Faisal
Elisha
Noad
Abdi
Haman
Kenneth
Matthew
Emma, is a boy....Short for Emmanuel!
Sumuy, is a little pistol! He's always threatening to twist one of the kids ears off, but underneath his threats lie the sweetest eyes. He comes across BOLD, but underneath God has given him a meek and perceptive spirit.
Isaac
Edrine
Tindi, has the cutest smile...when he smiles you can't help but want to give him a big hug!
Innocent
Josephine
Christine
Esther, is my baby girl!!!! She always has a snot rag tied to her uniform because her nose constantly runs! It's so gross and endearing!! She has a way of looking up at me that melts my heart and I have a hard time not holding her ALL the time!
Fortunate, looks like tweety bird! And I mean this is the nicest way. She is beautiful...her features all come to a cute point in the center of her face...I can't explain well, but I'll try to get a picture.
Samantha
Nene
Pach
Mercy
Rhinah
Rachael, is a hard one for me. I love her and try to affirm her through hugs and kind words, but she is very guarded and often seeks my attention by causing problems or hitting me. Please pray for Rachael...I wish I had my Play Therapy certification already so I could know how to get through to her. Pray the Lord gives me wisdom.

There's so many! And I am still learning all their precious personalities! Now you can pray for them by name! I will try to include funny stories as they come because we all know this age produces great material!!!

I love you all!
