[Photos] Rice & Beans Celebration dinner

To celebrate the end of Rice & Beans month, we had a wonderful celebration in Portland on Friday, April 1.

The meal was kicked off with a prayer written by our 5-year old participant Kaya. She shared this prayer:

LAHASH FEAST PRAYER

I know that you are my God.

I will watch over African boys and girls and kids that are sick.

Every star in the sky means that every child is with God.

Let there be light and God said let there be darkness so that we can pray and know that God is with us. AMEN

Various friends shared about the month and the lessons learned.

We enjoyed a delicious BBQ with hamburgers provided by the Werkhoven family and an ice cream bar provided by Judith.

At the end the kids shared decorated containers with the money that they had saved during the month. Thanks to everyone who participated during this past month!
