Jambo!This weekend was filled with excitement and learning! Saturday was a day based around our dorm. The kids, Franco, and I all got our hands dirty to make the compound look sharp. We built walls around our beautiful flower beds, and even planted some flowers the kids brought from home. Immaculate brought a beautiful bush with red flowers, and Ester brought a tomato plant! The whole compound looks very smart.
After a morning of work we sat on the front porch reading books. We read a book Ester brought called Mother & Kitty and also looked through a dictionary of science definitions Hanifa brought! We read, laughed, and discussed several words in detail pointing out examples around our dorm. Soon we relaxed in the shade of our courtyard tree eating fruits brought by the children. They were delicious!
Then we began to play! Some of the children stayed the whole afternoon playing a variety of games. We jumped, skipped, and ran all afternoon. It was hard for me to keep up! After a long hot day I was glad for an afternoon rain which cooled everything and especially me down. After a long day full of work and play a quiet evening was a welcome respite.
On another note, I apologize for the blue text up top. When I inserted some of the photos it turned the text blue and was being very stubborn. I apologize for the inconvenience. All photos by Sarah Morris.

Hi Sarah, I really enjoy reading the updates. Looks like you are having a fun time with the kids. The pics are great. I was wondering, is there a library in the dorm? also was thinking if we had people bring a box of different simple books every time there was a trip over, it would greatly improve the kids English and writing skills, especially because all exams are in English. Just a thought, what do you think? Webbale nyo.
