We wanted to send you our thanks and appreciation for your donation of books to our volunteer work here in South Africa. Your contribution has had a tremendous affect on our ministry of teaching life skills and life orientation to the children in the primary schools. For the last four years, we have been introducing our character-building life orientation books to the primary schools.

This was the first time for most of us to visit a “Hospitel” – a mix of a hospital and a hotel. The Lukang hospital is one of the first of its kind in Taiwan and we were invited to perform our clown show and go room-to-room, sharing God’s love with the patients and distributing the wonderful Christmas gifts sponsored by Activated Ministries!

“Boy am I tired, but happy!” said Abing (aka Tim) along with side kick Abong, (aka Danny) who just finished clowning around and having fun with over 200 kids from the Taichung City Special Children Center. On a bright and sunny Saturday afternoon, two clowns from the Family International Taichung City center met and had lots of fun with this special bunch of kids by performing one of their renowned clown shows. With an afternoon of magic tricks, music, songs and dancing, it’s hard to tell if our clowns or the children had the most fun! Read more about Clowning Around with Meaning - Children's Day in Taiwan
