On Friday the beautiful Mattaw girls went to get their hair did. Since the school term is over for the year House 2 mom, Cristabel, can braid their hair. She does such a good job. Before she can braid it they have to get it blow dried. Below are some pictures of the girls after they took out their old braids and before their blow dry.
While the girls had a day out on the town, the Hamers and I worked with the boys on sponsorship Christmas cards. Phil and Dalene Hamer are an amazing couple here that are filming Mattaw and working on a couple of their own projects. Check them out at untilthen.org!
Saturday we went out to Mattaw for birthdays. Before lunch we had time to play with the parachute a team left this summer. The kids love it! Birthdays are not a big deal in Kenya like they are in the US. Most Kenyans don’t know how old they are. Many times this is because they have never had a birthday celebration or have been living on the streets and have no concept of time. It is so nice to get to give special attention to the children and celebrate them. They also get special treats and soda, that makes all the kids very happy.
With less than 2 weeks here it is getting down to crunch time. Tomorrow we are celebrating Thanksgiving so we can enjoy leftovers the remainder of the week! Bud ordered a 20 pound turkey!!! Building is also continuing this week, so many pictures to come.
