Zoo Day with a Grand Celebration
















Today the staff and mission team hosted children from one of the two orphanages in the area. Nine children from Our Lady of Apostle Catholic orphanage were our quests at the Jos Zoo and returned for a traditional feast of roast lamb, couscous and roast plantain. We were entertained by two hours of authentic tribal dancing. Our zoo visit included wandering camels, black cows, up close visit of a mama and papa lion, close enough that when she roared I got her spit on my face. Thank goodness for a very strong fence between us. She with papa and two cubs. We also watched a boa constrictor kill a live rabbit for its meal placed in the pit by a zoo worker.
