All better! I think it was just from exhaustion. I was up for over 58 hours straight and I think my body had had enough. So, I went back to project today. David. David is my new best friend. He is twelve years old and lives with his mother and brother, Peter, who is seven. He loves to teach me Swahili so we trade off; one English word for the Swahili equivalent. So far the most useful word I’ve learned is “Hapana”--No. All these children want is to be held...all the time. And it’s great but then they start to fight each other for attention so rip is a point when it’s better just to say that’s enough--Hapana. I wish I had more hands for these children to hold. I love them so much already.
