The life they were living to the max came screeching to a halt the instant their one and only beloved ball went flying over Shiloh's wall and disappeared from view.  Three anxious children scampered off and came to a screeching halt at our gate where they began frantically ringing our bell.  Dorothy went to the gate to ask what they wanted.  Their tale of woe came tumbling out with a plea to return their ball to them.  She went off to search and came back empty handed.  They plead and plead with her until she finally opened the gate and let the oldest boy inside.  He ran directly to the shrub when it had come to rest and scooped up his treasured ball.  What a relief!  The lost was found.

Dorothy reported back to us that these boys are from  Bamenda.  Yaounde is filing up with children and whole families from Bamenda.   Though a long ways from home and their old life, children always find a way to have some fun.
