On the last day of VBS, each child receives a pair of slippers. The children enjoy a healthful, delicious meal after the activities. Marlo recites a memory verse.

The children’s families are invited to attend their VBS graduation. Many parents want another VBS program as they have seen positive changes in their children’s characters. Children learn how to properly wash their hands, bathe, and brush their teeth with guidance from Keirn Karen Pajarito, a nursing instructor at the Adventist University of the Philippines.

Each child is given a towel, nail clippers, cotton 11 soap, swabs, shampoo, and toothpaste.

Your mission and world budget offerings help support hundreds of projects such as this one all around the world. Thank you!
