We took about 20 of the KINOS kids from our church out for a fun day at the bunny park and brunch at the Mugg & Bean restaurant. The Christadelphian Church in Kempton Park has a special club called KINOS (Kids In Need Of Support) where not only are the children living in extremely-poor households, but also only have one parent, or no parents and living with a grandparent or in an orphanage.
The local Mugg & Bean restaurant donated brunch for all the children plus T-shirts and candy for each one of them. We then drove them out to the bunny park in Benoni where they enjoyed playing and feeding the roaming bunnies, sheep, goats, ducks, and geese that live there on several acres in the park. The children all had a great time and it was a beautiful sunny day here in Africa. For most of them, an outing like this is the only time they leave their townships, and they always enjoy spending time with each other. They sang church hymns in the car ride all the way there and back.
