Kitale, Kenya Team Update #3

We had another good day at Mattaw Children’s Village. We started off by helping wash clothes for the children. Nine people and four hours later, we finished. It took so long because most of us are not used to washing clothes by hand. Needless to say, we all have a newfound appreciation of washing machines and dryers!

After we completed the morning laundry, we prepared meals for 40+ people. We cooked hot dogs on the grill, sliced the hot dog buns and prepared the plates for everyone.

Next, some of the guys cut down a couple of trees with a machete for tomorrow’s bonfire. We will be introducing the kids to s’mores. The ladies decorated t-shirts with the kids using puff paint and markers.

We concluded our day by giving gifts that the children from Kid City North Campus prepared. They received clothes, toys, games and most importantly SWEETIES (candy).

Below are some more photos from our time here in Kitale.
