The other day at the preschool, four girls volunteered to come in and paint faces with the kids. The four girls were Korean and only one of them spoke a teensy bit of English.
So there was Susan and I, the Americans: Susan knows some Tswana, I know none.
Neither of us know any Korean.
Neither of the four Koreans know any Tswana.
The one Korean girl that knows English seemed to cap off at “Hello, how are you?” and “I know a little English”.
The preschoolers don’t know any English nor do they know Korean.
Oh and did I mention that the health department was there giving medicine and shots as well?
How anything got done that day must have truly been by the grace of God.
The kids had a blast! There were little lions and kittens running around with balloon hats, dogs and giraffes. Oh my? I think everyone had a great time despite the language barrier…s. I loved seeing those little faces light up!
Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them,
for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
Mark 10:14
