Day 4 From Jennie's Perspective

Today we hung out with the kids again at PREFER. The kids are PRECIOUS. They are extremely dirty but it makes them all the cuter. We played Ring Around the Rosie at "playground" but it didn't work out very well because they would fight over who got to hold the "Mzungo"s hands. Lunch was kabobs, rice, etc. For breakfast the cooks served this little fruit that I'd never seen before…they were extremely sour and quickly took on the name Warheads. After lunch we visited the Excel school..a private school just down the street from where we are staying. It was much fancier than Prefer, and the kids were much cleaner and better dressed. However, we noticed how the Excel kids were a bit spoiled because they kept asking us for stuff. Nonetheless they were adorable and spoke English very well. We went to a little store to buy trinkets for ourselves and people back at home. There were tons of handmade wooden animals, jewelry, baskets, etc. We rode motorcycles to get back to the house! Parents—we wore helmets and the drivers are certified and they go very slow and it was only like a half mile ride..very safe!!!! Hahaha. Everyone here is so happy and content. It is amazing to realize how really spoiled I am and how the simple things can really bring so much joy to these people.
