Tis a gift to be Simple
Tis a gift to be Free
This week we made parachutes out of yarn, rocks and plastic grocery bags. In my opinion this was a very lame craft. The kids loved this and are still playing with them 3 days later.
This morning we made hats out of newspaper with the little kids (three and four) which they were totally thrilled with.
This afternoon we ran a treasure/scavenger hunt with the grade 1 and 2 kids. To be honest this was pretty thrown together and silly but they loved loved loved it.
It pleases me that these things along with having the chance to fly a kite in rotation for 20 minutes at a time are seen as a great priviledge by these children.
Not a lot of intitlement here.
I think you have captured what I love about Africa!!! No entitlement just a simpler life!! You are great at descriptions and I enjoy all your facebook posts as well as your Blog posts. Thanks for sharing with those of us here. Enjoy you final few week. It is such a contrast of joy and sorrow as you will experience returning to the States!! Know you must be missing Ted and YOUR kids by now.
