Continued... The time at the Compassion International project was really precious. We toured the place were nearly 300 children get an education, some play time and bible studies. They study through grade 6. The classroom are just the basics, but oh how they learn. I think they have some limited books, but the good old chalk board and chalk meet the bulks of their means. The administrators were very proud to show me the computer they had in their offices. It was carefully covered with a sheet to keep out the dust. They also proudly presented their one tv and vcr that they occasionally rollout to show the kids something of value. As ususal, the white woman caused quite a stir. All the kids came running. We played and laughed. I took a ton of photos and toured. I asked if they would sing something for me. They eagerly did so. They immediately broke out into a rousing chorus of "we're going to see the king". John Harvey would have loved it. They did it in English and Kenyrwanda.
