Finished with the trip, but not with Africa

While we are all ready to go home, we cannot believe that our month is almost over. We are spending most of our time this last week at the BCC.

Saturday we decided to do something special for the orphans at BCC. We made sweet chapati for the kids, which is like fried dough. The main cook gave us all the ingredients to buy and he taught us how to make it. We served it with milk and gave them all small presents. They all really enjoyed it. It was so neat to do something special for them.

On Monday, we went to a school in the Korogocho slum. Buckner helps support this school. We all really enjoyed our day there. I spent the day with the girls in the beauty school. They braided my hair into a weave, which I still have in. I just spent time talking with them and getting to know them. Carla spent the day with the sewing school, while Melissa spent time in the school. Both really enjoyed it.

Over this whole month, we have had great conversations with people. The culture here is so different and it has been challenging and exciting learning about life that is completely different than our own. Melissa stated it well for all of us. We feel finished with this trip, but not finished with Africa. We are so thankful for this opportunity to experience Africa and begin to grasp who these people are. We have been blessed by the orphans and the children we have made friends with. Thank you so much for your prayers and support.
