When we arrived at the school this morning the children were
all clapping and cheering us as the bus drove in, this was really emotional as
we realised how much they appriciate us and how much our teaching means to
them. Nicole started crying at the overwhelming happiness the children showed.
When we walk the 5-10 minutes to the sports field the
children all attatch themselves to us
having many children on each arm. A girl called Patience was also in awe
with the length and colour of my hair always trying to plait and play with it.
Not being used to white people and loving having us there.
Another amazing thing about kigali is the beauty of the
scenery and how clean the country is kept as everyone is so proud of where they
live, even though there is a water shortage the grass outside the appartment is
always green and watered. This is also quite sad considering that many of the
children we are working with dont have food or water some having to walk a few
hours to get clean water and reach their homes.
Last night we also had a reflection evening which was very
emotional hearing about everyones experiences including many stories about
visiting the pigmes. As well as reflecting on just how kind and genorous the
children are even though they have so little.
