Recently, the younger children made rulers; for many of them, it is often\u00a0<strong>only here<\/strong>\u00a0that they get to hold a pair of scissors or use glue. On this day, after engaging in gross motor skill activities on the playground, they were also able to practice their fine motor skills through coloring and crafts. They then tried their hand at measuring and immediately got a taste of math and numbers. Spiritually, the focus was on God\u2019s immeasurable love\u2014\u00a0<em><strong>\u201chow wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ\u201d (Ephesians 3:18).<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even during free play, the goal is to convey acceptance, love, and joy to the children. During these times, certain children repeatedly stand out as needing more support or protection: for example, the boy with wounds on his ears inflicted by his grandfather as punishment, or the little girl whose grandmother waits for her at the gate and has an injured hand\u2014a wound inflicted by her son, the girl\u2019s father, while drunk. We inquire, we pray, we conduct home visits, go to different government agencies if necessary, and ultimately entrust these situations to God when no further options remain on our part. We have now been able to enroll the two children from these examples in our sponsorship program, which allows us to offer them greater\u00a0<strong>stability, future prospects, family counseling<\/strong>, and much more.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jede Woche lernen insgesamt zwischen 400 und 600 Kinder etwas Neues bei den Programmen . Vor kurzem wurden mit den J\u00fcngeren Lineale gebastelt; viele Kinder haben oft\u00a0nur bei uns\u00a0eine Schere oder einen Kleber in der Hand.\u00a0 An diesem Tag konnten sie, nach dem grobmotorischen Spiel auf dem Spielplatz, auch ihre Feinmotorik mit dem Malen und Basteln \u00fcben. Dann haben sie auch das Messen ausprobiert und sind dabei gleich mit Mathematik und Zahlen in Kontakt gekommen. Geistlich ging es um Gottes unmessbare Liebe,\u00a0\u201cdie Breite und Tiefe und L\u00e4nge und H\u00f6he der Liebe Christi\u201c\u00a0(Epheser 3,18). Auch w\u00e4hrend der freien Spielzeit geht es darum, Kindern Annahme, Liebe und Freude weiterzugeben. Dabei fallen einem immer wieder Kinder auf, die mehr Unterst\u00fctzung oder Schutz brauchen: zum Beispiel der Junge mit den Wunden an den Ohren, die ihm sein Gro\u00dfvater als Strafe zugef\u00fcgt hat, oder das kleine M\u00e4dchen, dessen Gro\u00dfmutter am Tor mit verletzter Hand auf sie wartet, eine Verletzung die ihr Sohn, der Vater des M\u00e4dchens, ihr im Rausch angetan hat. Wir fragen\u00a0nach, wir beten, wir machen Hausbesuche, gehen, wenn n\u00f6tig, zu Beh\u00f6rden und lassen los, in Gottes Hand, wenn es von unserer Seite keine Hilfsm\u00f6glichkeiten mehr gibt. Die zwei Kinder vom Beispiel konnten wir jetzt in unser Patenprogramm aufnehmen, und ihnen dadurch mehr\u00a0Stabilit\u00e4t, Perspektive auf eine Zukunft, Familienberatung und viel mehr anbieten.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1953,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1951","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/project-twofive.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1951","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/project-twofive.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/project-twofive.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/project-twofive.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/project-twofive.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1951"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/project-twofive.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1951\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1956,"href":"https:\/\/project-twofive.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1951\/revisions\/1956"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/project-twofive.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1953"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/project-twofive.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1951"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/project-twofive.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1951"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/project-twofive.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1951"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
