The teacher tells me the day before, the kids will go to church tomorrow. Being curious, i decide to attend. It was a long bus ride to jurong, and the kids were treated to a cheering contest, then a high energy concert, then a "magic" entertainment and a large man who amuses them with balloons and even gets into one himself, it continues with a puppet show and kids learning the concept that a friend loves at all times. 2 boys go on stage and are asked to choose which present he will give his friend. He is rewarded with a bigger present when he gives his friend the best present. Then the hippo story is told but Barney is hungry and starts to cry. I bring him outside and feed him the squashed bread talk bun i have in my pocket, then we go back to join the group who are getting ready to go home. I'm told on the bus, this is an annual treat and the church provides the whold experience for free. Wow, the extent of outreach!
Some of the kids sleep on the bus ride home and Barney naps in my arms.
