A Day at Limakatso
By on March 28, 2009
I had the privilege of taking some ministry volunteers to Limakatso, a center for disabled children in Intabazwe. They had prepared the day’s activities with Palm Sunday in mind. The craft was to make palm leaves out of construction paper and then we re-enacted this Bible story. I had so much fun as I helped one of the kids, Teboho, make his palm leaves. Teboho has cerebral palsy and doesn’t have very much range of motion with his hands, but he loves interacting and I found out today that he definitely likes to color! I can’t express how much I enjoyed working with him; seeing him laugh and watching his eyes light up as he saw what he created. After we finished making the Palm leaves we lined up and Teboho played the part of Jesus (and his wheel chair the Donkey) as we waved the Palm leaves and sang “Hosanna”. I can’t think of a better way to prepare for Palm Sunday than to be with God’s beloved children. - Charlene Garrett, Human Resources Director and Administrative Assistant

I was at the same center, last August. With the Kensington Mission Team, from Michigan. I remember, one of my team members, Gene, spending time with this young man. I read your story – about him being on “the donkey” – his wheelchair, and it brought tears to my eyes.
Keep fighting the good fight, my dear sister!

This is so encouraging to read. I will be praying for Teboho, he seems like a joy to be around.
