Well, the sun has gone down and we are into night time here in Nairobi. I have experienced so much today and I am trying to settle down from it all so I can properly go through it all in my mind and heart. The children are amazing. I can’t get enough of them. They are full of joy and love and just desire you to take attention to them.
I pulled out my video camera once and started to film them playing. As they started to realize that I had something different - they go excited and huddled all around me. I took the view screen and flipped it around so they could see them selves on the screen as it was recording - this started a frenzy. The kids showed so much transparency and excitment - that it became overwhelming to me. It was such an amazing experience to see the simplicity and joy on their faces.
It put somethings into perspective for me. They didn’t have a care in the world. They where having fun and understood completely how to be in the moment. These kids have very hard lives. Nothing easy about it at all, but that doesn’t stop any of them. I am very proud to be able to say that I have met this children, because they have impacted me way more than I will ever be able to impact them!
