Sunday evening after seeing the orphanage we drove a little farther to the IDP camp that we had visited last year. Steve has a projector and a big screen he puts on his car and shows movies to the kids. They have seen the Lion King and George of the Jungle and this time he was showing the Nativity Story since it was Christmas time. The picture above is the doorway to the tent of a woman named Doreen and her two small boys. Her husband died during the violence 3 years ago. There were 16 of us and she was fixing us supper on this little stove inside the tent.
Everyone enjoying the stew and chapatis Doreen made for us.
When the cars pull up to the camp the children mob the car and were yelling "cinema, cinema" over and over. They could see the screen strapped to the top of the car and were very excited about a movie!! They grabbed our hands and walked us all over to Doreen's tent.
After the food she served us all hot sweet tea and then the kids went to watch the movie. Some of us ladies (Melinda, Julie, Elise, Abby, Michelle, Rachel, Suzanne) all stayed in Doreen's tent where it was warm and cozy and Anna and Emily and the dads all went and helped with the movie. Doreen washed all the dishes faster and better than I have seen anyone wash dishes - using hot soapy water over a little camp type stove! Then she proceeded to talk to us about what a good God we have and his plans for a wonderful life for all of us. Amazing woman!
