HOMK (Humans of my Kenya)

In continuing my HONY experiment, I'm learning there's much more to making it successful than I knew.  My hat goes off to you, Brandon Stanton.  Leading the Kenyan children into interesting stories and "quips" is quite difficult.  They merely nod their head at me.  I don't know what to do from there!  I desperately want you to get to know "my" Kenya, so here goes!

I didn't have to talk to this man to know that he is thinking: I hate Kenyan traffic!

A voracious reader I encountered at breakfast.  Voracious to a fault.

This is Marion.  Oh yes, and this is Marion.

Peter, what is that in your hand?  <blank stare> Is it kind of like something you just roll around, or is it a CD "wheel" on a bamboo stick?  Yes.

Ouma was chosen to write on the board because he was tall.  So he erased the lower "teachings" and wrote there.

Samuel eloquently reading Romans 3:23.  A little pint sized evangelist right there!

Gloria is rather shy at first, so I asked her friends to say something about her.  They said she is kind, innocent and a good girl.

What are you doing, Luke?  Are you relaxing in the sun?  "No, I'm just sitting by the blue storage container."

We love our Goldfish Snack Crackers!

Look!  My Goldfish are flying!

Mary wins the award (in my opinion) for the Most Improved child we have known at Virginia.  When we first met her she was scrawny with some bad fingernail issues.  She barely talked.  Today she knew EVERY answer and then some before Walt finished the questions.  She's filled out, and become such a helper to her teachers and friends.

James, not only are you an excellent driver, we just really love that hat!

It's a day in the Kenyan life.  I shall write more later, but the jet lag has pretty much gotten the better of me. Goodnight all!  Hope you enjoy!
