Kitale, Kenya Team Update #5

Wow, it’s hard to believe today was our last full day at Mattaw. It was a great day and we got a great deal accomplished. We even experienced our first heavy rainfall in the middle of afternoon.

This morning started out early for a couple of our team members as they helped take some children to physical therapy. It was an eye-opening experience to see how physical therapy is practiced in Kenya.

Once the rest of us arrived at Mattaw, we hit the ground running. The ladies got to experience another morning of washing laundry by hand, while some of the guys help build shelves.

When the laundry was over, the girls returned to their painting projects. They continued their work on the gate and decorated the classrooms some more.

After lunch, we continued building shelves, cleaning and organizing some of the items that have been donated for Mattaw, and helping lead a Bible study for some of the workers.

Before we left, we made fleece pillows with the children and workers.

When we got back to Karibuni Lodge, some of our girls were caught off guard by a peeping tom, well actually a peeping donkey (see picture).

Tonight, we were able to watch a little bit of the USA soccer game and then enjoyed a huge dinner.
