Movie night at the Academy

Every Saturday night while we were in Tala, Kenya we would set up our projector/dvd player/speakers and have a movie night. We found the kids love action movies and they really seem to enjoy slapstick humor (falling down and such nonsense as that!)

We would also have snacks – one night we had crisps (chips) and soda, another night would be popcorn and juice then another night would be biscuits (cookies) and milk. Now being a mom the cookies and milk were ok with me as the milk didn’t have as much sugar, but the kids voted the popcorn and soda the winner snack hands-down!

After the first couple of Saturday’s we found many of the adults at the Academy (teachers, night watchmen etc.) would show up just about the time the snacks would be handed out and the movie started!

It was so neat to see the kids enjoy a “night out” even if it was in a classroom with a sheet for a screen and sitting three to a desk! We’ve heard from Gideon and Pauline that the kids are anxious for us to come back so we can again start our traditional Saturday night movie time.

If you have any DVD’s (PG-13 or below) you’d like to donate please send them to Saved By God’s Grace at 4410 W. Union Hills Drive, Suite #7, Glendale, Arizona 85308. Thank you!
