Kwaherini - Good bye!

Hard to say Kwaheri - Hugs and tears

It's hard to believe that we are in the midst of packing (late Friday) and will be leaving around 8:00 am from our last host home.  One the way to the airport we will make some stops and see a few animals. 

We spent this morning doing our "Good-byes".  Sally and Grace went down into Huruma to say their final "good-byes" to Grace's relatives.  I spent the time at the Nursery School giving student pictures to the teachers.  I decided to totally disrupt the classes and get out some of the toys and just play with the kids before I had to leave.  It was hard because they just did not want me to leave and kept asking when are you coming back.  I think I've had too much fun spoiling them.  Not "spoil", just loving on them.

The African Animals are very important to the Kenyan people.  They are taught very young that they are part of their land and they do all they can do to preserve them.  They learn their names in English and even at this young age know each one.

 

Little Boys and Cars

 

Every little boy knows how to make car sounds and likes to see what makes them work.

The Fun Part - Girls and Dolls - I have way too many pictures of these girls with the dolls.  The smiles and hugging never stopped.

 

OK, now that I'm about to cry and want to go back and hug each one and play dolls I better close.

  

Be praying for Sally, Grace and I as we travel home.  Right now I have a terrible head cold and cough along with little sleep the entire 2 weeks.  It's a long, long ride sitting upright in a crowded airplane, but looking forward to seeing PDX and family.

 

Kwaheri from Kenya - See you all soon
