The first one was at the church and we saw mostly adults. Most of the complaints were relatedto old age and hard physical labor. I made some special connections with a few women here and I pray for God's continued blessing on them.
After lunch we drove to another school for deworming and to check on those who were sick. After checking out the children we walked through some of the classrooms. Each room has student desks that seat two each. The bench seat is a1 1/2 by 8 connected with a riser another same size board for the desk top. The walls are bare stone or block and the ceiling shows the rafters. I took a picture of a very pretty bird sitting on one of the rafters.
The blackboards were plastered walls painted black. On one such board was written the Patriarchs of the church starting with Abraham. This is a public shcool. They had science centers and other creative learning opportunities in the classrooms. Tomorrow will be our first day in the slums of Kibera.
Good luck tomorrow, I hope all goes well. I am glad to hear you are making good connections!
