The day didn't start off so well with one school threatening to leave because they didn't like the third school involved....lots of heightened emotion, luckily Second Chance were there....Kaba was sent in to negotiate the peace!
Here we are with our crowd of children, I did not have a hand free the entire day, as soon as one child left there was another two there to hold my hand, climb on or hang off me....hard work in the sun all day! But great fun.
Football is the second religion here....so it was tense and tempers ran high!!
Augustine and Kaba are being attacked here by kids.....the usual state whenever we go to visit them.
Most of the children grave attention and affection, these two are fantastic with them.
The obligatory massive speakers.....required for any gathering of people accross Africa! Much more important than supplying water for the kids to drink whilst spending the day in the 33 degree heat!
Too cool for school!!!
Kebeh and me eating our lunch in the school building at the orphanage, looking the part I think!
Great blog Alex! I have been reading all about your trip, and am VERY jealous! Although must admit, it brings back a few frustrating memories from East Africa! (I'd gladly take some of those back though, to be able to experience all the great stuff again) Continue posting to keep us updated! And let us know when you're back! xx
