Hi to you all:
Hopefully there will be five photos added to this blog. I am sending them to Mark at Gibsons Elementary in hopes that he can add them somehow. This is the second time we have managed to get photos on the internet, so here's hoping! Two were downloaded on the team's blog (thekenyateam.blogspot.com - I think). (Okay, now it's a few days later and Mark has added the photos via Yahoo - something like that. Just click to the left of the posted message to go to the photos. Thanks, Mark!)
If they are attached, the one of the little girls with the chicken on the bed was my first photo at MCCH. I had just arrived and the children took me for a trip around the grounds. We went into the girls dorm and here were chickens walking all over and on their beds. Another photo is of me and my sponsor child, Joshua. He's 15 and just a sweetie! There should be a photo of girls jumping with the jump ropes we gave them - those ropes came for GES staff and students. Thank you! Should be one of me and Candice Veale having our hair combed and played with. My hair especially the children love to comb and poke the scalp because my hair is so blonde! Then one of me and the children on sports day.
As I don't have much more time here at the internet cafe, I'll just add two things this time.
This morning Elizabeth called to inform me that my Auntie Esther passed away. My brother and I had visited her this summer in Wenatchee. It was so good to visit with her and how thankful I am now that we made that trip. Like Elizabeth said, have a little sad time, Mom, then get on with your day as Auntie Esther would want you to do that. Auntie Esther was the last of all my aunts and uncles on both sides (mom's and dad's) to pass away.
Okay, there's a first for everything. Yesterday was the first time I needed a washroom and could not wait to get back to our home. At MCCH the bathrooms are holes only so ... I did it! Next time I will squat lower (going to be developing a few more muscles!) as I got my feet 'wet'!
Love to you all,
Nancy

ReplyDeleteMake sure that you face the right direction!
I do hope that you continue to write descriptive letters that give us the sense of what you are experiencing. Keep sending the photos, as I now have the system down regarding posting your photos.
Have a blessed weekend Nancy.
Love,
Mark & Deb
