Jardin d'Eden Painting

This photo is from an orphanage here in Cotonou, Benin - named Jardin d'Eden (Garden of Eden in English). We follow a similar plan as with the orphanages in Liberia - a time of singing (and dancing), sharing of a Bible story (involving them in the story) and a time of arts and crafts. This week they were using paints and making drawings. Many times the artwork and drawings are displayed up on the wall in the home - similar to us in the US putting the drawing on our refrigerator. I do not have the same relationship connection here as in Liberia, but I was there for two years and had more time on building the relationships.
