Thanks to one of the volunteers, Jen, we had funds to buy loads of supplies for the cave classes, including a blackboard, basketball, and storybooks with pictures of Kenyan children that actually relate to their lives. The kids were so excited, they made me write "Property of Ngome Giriama' on every book so no one would take them! It was a lovely lesson, we learned about the continents, read "Handa's Surprise and answered questions, then unwrapped the basketball. That disrupted the tranquility somewhat. :) Next week is my last week in Kenya and I've been so worried that things would just fizzle out with the cave but all the other volunteers have gotten really enthusiastic about it and promised to keep up the lessons. It's going to be hard to leave,but at least I know they're in good hands.
