This is a picture of a presentation of gifts we made to the St. Aloysius Gonzaga School we visited today (July 6) in Kibera.
This picture is actually from July 4 when we visited Red Rose, but you would (and indeed, soon, you WILL) see similar pictures of all of the US students posing for pictures with their new friends from Kenya. We seem to be making a difference in the students' lives and they are very happy to see us and to be working with us. We're finding the trip to be quite rewarding as well, as you will learn from the upcoming student blogs...
Thanks for starting to comment on the blog (two people have commented thus far -- Emily's grandmother and my wife, Jocelyn! Who will be the first parent to comment???)
Seriously, please keep the comments coming! I'll pass them on to the students, and it's nice to know someone is reading the blog :)
The words and pictures in this blog make me envious and excited. In your writing and the expressions on every face, it is clear that this is a life changing experience. As a parent, I greatly appreciate the opportunity that Ken, Mr. G and others have made a reality. We look forward to following your unfolding adventure...Safe travels!
ReplyDeleteMatthew and I are following your trip closely. The stories and pictures are wonderful, so keep them coming. We look forward to each update, so please know that you have a deeply appreciative audience back in the States.
