The Power of Play


 A few of us try to go to the village at DFC each week to greet the ladies and just spend time with them.  A few weeks ago, we brought along a little car that runs by a pull string, and a nerf football.  It was incredible to see how much these two simple toys were enjoyed – by young and old alike!  It was also beautiful to watch how playing catch brought together ladies from multiple different languages and broke down any barriers there may have been.  There were a lot of missed catches and stray throws, but there was no judgement.  Each lady was included and encouraged by her neighbours.  For an hour we could be carefree and just have fun.  What a great gift that was to each one of us.
