Eating ice cream for Africa?

We have a number of Africa trips on our agenda for this season. Our "planting together" outreach team is in Senegal at the moment; please keep praying for rain so that the tree planting can go ahead as planned. Then, in three weeks time, I'll be heading down to Togo to teach on the French language child and youth ministry school (PCYM) there; please pray for me as I prepare teachings for that time. And, also in September, we're sending a small team down to Mozambique to train people how to set up and run Christian pre-schools. In preparation for the Mozambique trip, we've been washing our plastic 'tarrinas" any time we have an ice cream at our local heladarĂ­a, which is just at the end of my street; we thought they could be used as toys, for counting games, or even just for serving snacks. Now, when they see us coming, the Kalua staff always give us a few extra containers in different sizes and colours. We'll need to take some photos of Mozambican preschool children using them as toys and educational games.
