How do you feed hamburgers to 117 kids? Well, it take a lot of planning, good management, and a very long line. That was our third day at Fun Factory.

Our theme for the day was Mexico and there was no shortage of senoritas, senoras and senors, along with a visit from Yvonne and Robin from Operation Christmas Child, telling us about the annual shoe box appeal, and particularly telling us a story about a boy in Mexico whose life was changed when he received a Christmas box.

It was a great day with a great bunch of kids.  We’re off to New Zealand tomorrow. Image

On the first day of Fun Factory, Maida Vale Baptist Church’s annual holiday club, we put it to the test. Akwaaba, the local African drumming team came along and gave us half an hour’s incredible drumming. Instead of bedlam the children quickly got the beat and played along together.

The theme for Fun Factory this year is Around the World, so tomorrow we’re off to Japan. Looking forward to another great day.
