Today part of our team traveled to the slum of Kibera to work with Robbin at an Aids Clinic. We were not going to be a part of the medical team, but to play with the kids that were being assessed. There were around 20 kids anywhere from age 20 to 6 or 7. Before leaving for the states, a sweet coworker, Tammy, made about 60 packages of a weaving craft. She thankfully left plenty of yarn…therefore we made them into necklaces. These kids were very excited about making a craft and then getting to wear it. Not only did we make crafts, but we also painted fingernails and toenails. The girls’ faces lit up when we pulled out all the bright colors and started to paint their nails. After lots of brightly colored nails were dried, we pulled out the crayons and fish coloring sheets. After the morning was over, most kids left with a beautiful necklace, fun picture, painted nails, and stickers all over their faces and hands. These kids were adorable…as you can see from the pictures.
