Blue Bahay: More than a Place to Play
Get PDFHow can we enable disadvantaged youth, whose past and present are unstructured, to (re)build themselves and start thinking about their future? The incredibly effective solution developed by the Delépine Foundation is to let them play! Playing is most often downgraded to a mere form of entertainment. However, it has proven to be essential for education.

However, a close examination of the prophet's words will show that the worship of other gods was also one among other reasons of Israel's judgment by God.
