Forgiveness and a Pee Story.

while we were in Kenya, we did extra side visits to past projects or future projects.
One of them was Grace's school that the World of Difference team built in the past.
It was interesting because each morning our World of Difference team has a devotional and this one morning we happened to be talking about forgiveness and how last year in Kenya during the election there was a lot of fighting. We were talking to Kisii (george) about how scary Kenya was last year and that neighbors would fight and possibly kill or hurt neighbor's family members and now that the politics are getting better they had to learn how to forgive each other even after they did the things that we might think are unforgivable.
We talked about this in our morning devotional and when we went to Grace's school what else would the lesson be but about forgiveness.

this little girl i think was scared when she saw me but could not stop staring at me. so we started playing peek-a-boo

this little guy cracked me up!
he is crying because when he saw me he thought i was going to take him away! I am a little scary, but did he really have to cry!? That makes a girl feel good

We went to Pastor Jared's school and he is such an amazing man. I wish to get to know him more in the future, He is in the dark blue. I believe he got in an accident and his arm got amputated or maybe i have the story wrong but he turned his life fully around and now dedicates his time and money to this school he opened up and i believe there are over 200 kids that go to him for schooling and in that around 80 kids are ophaned and sleep at the school in 2 bedrooms. one bedroom for the girls and one for the boys and they sleep three people per bed. It is incredible what the kids have to go through and will do anything to get an education. It is also amazing to see people like Pastor Jared to dedicate their time for these children.
Unfortunately there was a new rule that passed that buildings within 30 feet of a river has to be torn down for sanitation purposes. Hopefully something can work out so these kids can have a place to live and go to school.

While we were here one of our members was donating t-shirts from the Trudi Thomas Memorial 5K that takes place for his sister because she got hit by a car when she was young and died and her dream was to come to Africa and help the children gain a good education and have a better life. Each year they do a 5K to raise money to send to Africa and help the children and that was why he was there, for her.
It was very emotional, I never heard this story until then and i looked around and tears are coming from nearly everyone's eyes including my own.
Then i feel something warm, but not the warmth from the story
this warmth started to trickle down my leg.

True to form the child i was holding felt the emotion as well and let it out on my left leg!
what do you do? i couldn't freak out, i couldn't start laughing either.
but i couldn't help it, i started crying harder, and laughing and i felt so rude but who gets peed on... in Africa?

here is the little guy right after the catastrophe

he looks so sad or scared. i can't figure it out

She is beautiful and couldn't stay away from Aissa (an awesome girl in the WOD group and my roommate)

This girl's name is Selma and she loved talking to me and was so sweet and kind.
I gave her a few of my outfits on my last day because she was just so adorable and nice and i loved seeing her everyday when i was at Eunice's school. She did not go to that school but lived right around the corner with her grandmother.

kevin peter and i at the work site.

half the WOD team moved hardcore in and broke it up into smaller pieces and leveled the ground some more, this is the middle of the school at Eunice's and eventually it levels out and we filled it all in. (ignore the buff man he wanted his picture taken)

I loved this girl's dress and the color.
I love how they wear colors its beautiful
