Kawangware

Today and Yesterday we were at a Free Methodist Primary School in Kawangware. It is a different area of Nairobi. It is another slum in Nairobi, but not as big as Kibera. We arrived around 9am and taught a few of their classes. A few people from our group taught math and english lessons while the others helped out in the kitchen with preparing lunch and such. Then we ate lunch, and after lunch the younger kids had PE. So we played games with them during their PE class. In the afternoon after their classes are over with we did a bible school. We did a bible lesson for them, a craft, a game, and some singing. There were about 300 kids at that school. They enjoyed it a whole lot. The kids there were really fun to be with. They kept asking us when we were coming back, but we didn't want to tell them that it was most likely that we would never come back...but ya never know. Today was a hot day. We got a little sun burnt but not bad. Its not bad for being in Africa almost a month and this being the first sun burn we have. On Sunday we had no power at the house almost all day so that was interesting. Tomorrow we leave for another town which is about three hours away. We will be there until saturday I believe. It is a pastors wives conference. We will be doing a childrens program in the eveing though with the children from that community. Tonight is Pizza night! We are almost to our halfway point! It seems like we've been here for a long time, but it hasn't been that long. The people here are very grateful that we have come and that want us to keep coming back and visitng.
