Kids on the PlaygroundThis morning we met Timothy Malahie in Kidera and went to see the Blue House. As we walked we saw mountains of trash and rivers of open sewig. While we walked two-five year olds would run up and say “How are you, How are you”. We would say fine thanks how are you and they would start all over again. When we finally got to the school we had a group of about 15-20 kids following us.

This morning we got up and eat breakfast. Then we went to the Massie village with William (our warrior). There we saw their mud huts, cows (they think they own all the cows in the world), and children who cried they were so terrified of my hair. While we were walking the women came out and did a welcome dance for us. But not for all of us because Amy and I had to join them. We had no idea what to do but after awhile picked up the dance but never the words.
