CURE Zambia celebrated Easter in style in 2018. Despite it not happening until AFTER the actual Easter day, it was a fun-packed event that strengthened bonds among co-workers and also among their children who played fun games with kids who were in the ward and other children.

Before they could start the fun, they were reminded of the importance of Easter, which is the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. The were a variety of games and there was plenty of food and drink.
