The last full day of the project (Thursday) was very successful. Bonnie painted "I am kind", "I am strong", "I am loved" ( with a momma and baby elephant and "We believe in you" with the map of Africa. The rooms look very bright and positive!
A friend of the team, Justus also has a small school. We went there to visit. He has 2 teachers, and they "don't talk about salary" ( which means they don't get paid) The kids there had never seen a muzungu ( white person) and they were afraid. We brought Justus several service bags filled with school supplies but he asked that we not unload them from the van. If any people were to see us, they would get stolen. He asked if we could bring the supplies to his house instead. Justus is a good man and helped us a lot with the project as well as study and work toward his own career. His school is on the list of school projects in Kenya for the World of Difference team. Our whole team would love to help Justus. He is loved and respected by us all.
I gave away the donated clothes I bought - shirts and old soccer uniforms from my friend Dawn's school in Wisconsin. I even gave away my shoes to one of the women that needed them and my well worn work gloves to one of the fundis,
Thank you Adams Friendship!
