The kids at our care center at Giden Bege are fresh off the streets and struggle with structure and disciple. Over the past few months we've started rewarding them for good behavior. Typically we do this by taking them on some sort of field trip. For example, a couple months ago we brought them to a friends house to play Band Hero...which proved to be quiet over stimulating for kids who have never played a video game before.
More recently we took them to the pool. For many of the boys it was not only there first time swimming but there first time to be fully submerge in water.
Whether helping a boy learn to swim or teaching him how to play Band Hero, I realized these are some of the moments I'll truly miss. I often find myself enjoying these first time experiences as much or even more as the kids themselves.
