What else we did
In addition to our scheduled activities, we spent a lot of time in the community visiting families. Right away I noticed the great number of children in the community and learned that many of the women did not have husbands, but "migrating" boyfriends (hence the number of kids). Despite this sad and dire context (many kids, no husband, no job), the kids truly find a way into your heart. From the very first day there, I met so many kids who would just come to hang out, hug us, want to take us to their homes, and just want to be around us. Their simple love and affection was another big blessing to me on the trip, reminding me of the childlike faith and generous hospitality that Jesus talks about. They were also the hardest to say "good-bye" to. Instead of saying a lot, here are some of their faces.
