Yesterday was bitter sweet as we had to part company with the people of Ngaamba. We had an incredible day with the children. We worked in the am for a brief period and then home visits, a hike up a mountain (yes a mountain) with the people and then we went back to the church where me met on Tuesday to say goodbye and pray.
It was a very moving day. We truly know what Andy means when he preached about being rich!
I had one lady ask me with tears in her eyes you gave us the materials for this project and you still came to work why? Then she said I do not want your team to go we have never had a group as loving to us as yours. Wow that really makes you think.
Another great moment yesterday was when the preschoolers broke for lunch. Those without lunch ran to play while the others went to get their lunch. The teacher announced those without lunch will eat today. The look on the childrens face was priceless as we had brought food for them.
As we gathered to close their were lots of tears and hugs. It was so difficult to leave and I know I am leaving a piece of myself here.
We leave in a few to head for Amboseli and to see the Maasai tribe I am sure it will be a great day!
