Last week was busy full of good-byes as Arika and Amy get ready to leave. We took Sam (our Director), Happy and Catherine out for lunch which was lovely and we had a going away party at school with the kids. Watching them say good-bye to the kids through tears made me realize just how hard it is going to be for me to say goodbye! These kids and families have changed my life!
Arika, Billy (Arika’s boyfriend from the States who is here for 2 weeks to visit), Amy, and myself went to mama Faraja's house (with god Love and mama God Love) for a goodbye/ thank you lunch. It was superb- not only the best food I've eaten in Africa (with chilli sauce to die for) but lovely company! Was great to see them all again and feel so welcomed. We supplied drinks and cookies but all the rest was the mamas! We had chicken and rice and pea stew and bananas and salad and chilli- so good!
