Kenya Team - Team Highlights from Day 3

The team were asked to give highlights of the day at the daily debrief:

 Running round chanting their countries and waving their flags as teams
 Kids high-5ing us at the bus as we left
 Hearing the children saying our names
 When they took me into a classroom and they started singing a song to me
 The dance and hand-clapping to welcome us
 Just seeing all the team working together so well
 Being hugged goodbye by a couple of the older girls

 Playing ring a roses with a few kids, and then it got larger and
larger as more wanted to join in
 Looking at the children in assembly from behind (threadbare clothes
etc) and then seeing them from in front smiling and so aware – just so
different from our kids at home
 How they want to just be with us, and know about us and have
conversations about life – both theirs and ours – just so open and
keen to engage
 Seeing how our team just got on with it so well, and didn't hang
back, but got right in there
 One kid Brian who just suddenly did 2 back flips
 Seeing how excited the kids were to spend time with us
 Being shown the house where one of the kids lived, and how it made
it all so real

 The initiative shown by the team right from the start
 Hearing from the teachers and head-teacher just how excellent the
work was that we were all doing
 One of the teachers saying 'its a real God's blessing that you are here'
 The kids – cheeky chappies, seeing how much they can do in bare feet
 The kids give us the determination to push on and give them a great
time, cos they are so deserving
