English club was born out of a desire to be able to pour more deeply into the lives of a few kids. We know we can’t change everyone but mentorship with a few kids at a time allows us to share more love and light. We wanted the kids in English club to come consistently so we devised a reward system with a fun activity day after they come for a month. We allowed them a ticket for themselves and a friend. We had our first English club activity in June with bracelet making stations, water balloon games, and brownies with ice cream. The time was too short and they begged to stay longer and play soccer. “Next time,” we promised as we piled 17 kids into our car and dropped them off at their homes. It was a meaningful evening and a glimpse of more things to come.
