Vanessa

Our afternoon is filled with celebration!!  Vanessa, one of our team, is getting baptized Kenya-style. Which means in ice cold water in a blow up pool (we vetoed the river - seriously, leeches, parasites, black mambas... We are in Kenya after all!)  


Blow up pool and all, it was spectacular! A long awaited experience for Vanessa and a momentous occasion for Madoya and all the children who looked on.
The school has put together a fantastic celebration. They sing, dance, try to get us mzungus to dance (I'm not sure we fared all that well!), gave us gifts and shared cake. 



What hospitality and what a gift to share in this moving experience. Oh the things we could learn by expressing gratitude as often and as abundantly!!
