Hello again, Another wonderful day in Kenya!
Our devotions today were at BLISS. Again led by our youth. We had a vocal solo this morning by Jessie, who sang the Queen Esther song a cappello (sp?). Jessie has a beautiful voice and did a wonderful job. The BLISS students sang for us and also with us. We were blessed to be together!
We continued many of the activities started earlier in the week....health screens, eye exams, teaching/assisting in class. In addition, reproductive health was taught by Dan and Stephanie. The students were attentive and asked good questions when they divided in groups by gender. They had a good discussion.
The science charts were an extremely valuable addition to the science classes.
Larry reports the music students at BLISS are doing well under Boniface's direction. They meet just once per week and have made tremendous progress. They are quite eager to have music taught more frequently and during the school day.
This afternoon Debbie led the crafts session at the Primary School (grade 6) making wind socks with able help of Laurie, Allison, Noah and Lydia. They are quite experienced working with children.
Some of the Mwanika womens groups meet this evening before dinner. Beth taught session for youth leaders of area churches. They greatly appreciated her insights and suggestions.
We are having a wonderful time. We are a bit tired from jet lag and culture shock now that it is mid-week, but are overjoyed with being here. Life flows at a different pace in Africa. It is very good for us to experience.
Hope you are well while we are away and appreciate your prayers and encouragement. You are all in our thoughts and prayers also.
Gary and Beth
