iHeart Derry outreach is an annual event hosted by Cornerstone City Church. It will take place from July 4th-13th in 2015.
The week opens up with a high energy training day which sets the stage for the week to come. Volunteers are broken up into teams and sent to different locations throughout the community. There will be 5 Kid's week locations including Donemana Primary School, Lisnagelvin Primary School, and Currynierin community center. Playgrounds will be built throughout the community as well.
Each morning teams go to their locations to host high energy events for children. These events consist of dancing, songs, sports, stories, crafts, and games of all kinds.
After the kid's programme for the day winds up, teams prepare for the next day's lesson and head to their street cleanup project. There is a mobile-medic station where people can get their blood pressure and sugar levels checked as well as receive minor first aid. Coffee stations will be set up around the city as well. On Thursday evening there is football tournament between local teams.
It is amazing to be a part of this event and see the impact Christ's love has on a community!
