January Photos
Term has gotten off to a great start, and we are back in the swing of things.
Here are a few pics and descriptions.
Jan 14 was outreach day and our dorm signed up to pick up trash on the road
that leads to Kijabe. Picking up trash is a foreign concept in Kenya, and
in the country there is no such thing as garbage collection, so most people just
burn their trash or throw it on the ground. Several Kenyans commented
later that the road looked so clean and they were so impressed by the RVA kids
that they felt inspired to teach their own school children the concept of
service.
The next series of pictures is from Titchie field day. In January, the
field day is always a water field day since this is the hottest and driest time
of the year. In fact they told us that it has never rained on this
day…that is, until this year’s field day. It was so cold!!! Oh and
by the way, I (David) signed up to be one of the unfortunate one to sit in the
dunking booth.
Jan 22 was Titchie Sunday, so the kids got to perform in the service and
conduct much of what went on (see last three pics).
