Wednesday in Nakuru

We left on Saturday morning to go on Safari for the weekend and had a wonderful time.  There is so much to write about Safari that I am going to post that later.  We returned on Monday afternoon to Nakuru and stopped at the Virginia Home to say Hi to the kids.  They were very surprised to see us and even the boys were jumping up and down screaming.  It made me so happy but at the same time sad that they don't have many visitors.  Some of the children were taking exams so we  were unable to see all.

Our driver, Charles brought a container of water so all the children could have a sip because they were very thirsty. These children appreciate such small things here. The lack of water is a huge problem and one that we are trying to help resolve.  Today we are going to have the children make coasters from supplies that I brought from home and then I will sell them on a online store that I have started.  The money will go for buying water.  They have a water truck that can deliver large amounts of water to fill their water tanks.  Then the children will feel like they helped with solving the water problem.

 The children asked for stories of the safari and would sit forever as long as we talked.  You know me, I am having to work hard to keep talking- especially to remember names:)  When I return home I am not going to talk for a whole week.....OK maybe a day:)  

We have some great surprises for the children today and tomorrow and so come back and read about them and see pictures!!!!!!
