Jambo! Habari? Nzuri sana!
No matter where we go in BulBul little voices follow us ... They send you greetings!
We finished all the home visits this afternoon.
I spent time with Susan this afternoon sharing our parenting wisdom. Her two youngest children live at home with her. Both of her children are in school.
Lucy is recovering from an ankle injury so she is unable to work, She lives with her 4 children in one room. She told us today she has not paid her rent so will be forced to leave her home. Landlords come and change the padlocks on the door so families can't get back in for their belongings.
Fatima has lived in BulBul all her life. She and her daughter Miriam live with her mother. She finished high school but was unable to go to University because of the cost. She hopes for her daughter to get a good education so she can have a career. Miriam is in Class 5 and is the top student in her class.
Meeting with the youth gave us time to talk with them about their hopes and dreams. They are preparing something to share with our community at home.
Dental needs are not met in BulBul. We did a crash course in brushing and sent home toothbrushes and supplies for each family.
American toothpaste tastes funny!
More tasting and practicing.
Shopping bags to fill with training jerseys.
Filling the bags.
More bags!
She is 12! Getting a new shirt for training.
Bruce and Jacqueline our new friends who live in the Youth Art Compound.
Asante ~ we love having you journey with us.
