Sunday
Our last day here for this trip – and finally a slow morning.
Then off to Rugby! It’s Sally and Stuart’s (Angel Kindergarten / Lunchbowl Network) brand new initiative for the kids of Kibera.
115 kids aged from 5-12 years. Some of them from the Angel kindergarten, some from the Saturday Lunchbowl feeding program in the slums. All of them excited to be donning a uniform and learning some rugby skills.
The coaches are volunteers from Rugby Kenya (not bad!) & everyone gets a hot lunch – always a bonus.
It’s only week 3 of this new venture but it’s pretty clear everyone is loving it. As usual there’s a thousand people behind the scenes making it look easy when in fact, getting 115 kids bussed from Kibera, changed, trained, fed and back again on a Sunday is no small thing. Hats off to Sally and Stuart (and their kids who are all involved somehow or other) for another amazing program.
As always there is plenty to keep us amused. We love the kids names – ‘Gift’, ‘Goodluck’ ‘Blessing’ and today, we had both ‘Barak Obama’ and ‘Bill Clinton’!! Really!!
We served food, cleaned boots and played with the kids.
