Our Special Kindergarten Project

This Handover Ceremony was a special one for us. We were helping a Kindergarten receive some new toys, playground equipment and a little bed set with cupboards to put their toys and books in.  This kindergarten has been operating for 22 years and has never received anything new for the the students.  They were very pleased with what we were able to get for them.  Following are some pictures of the event of this project.

All loaded and heading to the Kindergarten in Navutoka!

Here are some of the students.  We thought this little one was pretty precious!

This is part of the Handover Ceremony.  This is President Kaufusi, who is a councillor in the Mission Presidency.  It was he and his wife that started this Kindergarten 22 years ago.

This is our refreshments for the Ceremony.

This is Elder Murdock, Ana Ika, and the other two ladies are from the Ministry of Education for Tonga.

The children loved it when Elder Murdock sat in the middle of them!

Sister Murdock serving some refreshments to the little children.  They were just like Sister Murdock's grandchildren, they loved the ketchup! Or they would call it tomato sosi.

Here are the children playing on some of the playground equipment.

The girls loved the slide.

It is always amazing to see religious pictures in the schools here in Tonga.  What a blessing that is to these students.  America needs to take a look at this.  They feel it is important that the children grow up knowing that there is a Heavenly Father in Heaven who loves them!
