Page and I really enjoy and look forward to waking up and going to serve God through teaching and building relationships at I Can Fly School in Machakos, Kenya! Machakos by far is my favorite place (besides Nairobi) I have been to in Kenya, and I've been to a pretty good number of places here. You might ask why I love Machakos so much, and even if you would not...I'll tell you anyway...JOY. It is the pure joy you see on each and every persons face. The pure joy you see when the kids are embracing what you are teaching them at school despite their circumstances and the pure joy on the veggie ladies faces when you purchase one avacado from them for 30 shillings (3 7 cents in america). One of my favorite places to be in Machakos is where we work at I Can Fly. It is a bumpy, long 30 minute drive to the school but I look forward to that ride everyday because I know when I step out of that car I feel right at home. I enjoy working with the high school students as we discuss journalism and plan the yearbook we will be creating with the school for I Can Fly. Also, we love the fun events we have done and will continue to do, such as the talent show! We also love working with the preschool there. Here are two kids with the pictures they colored. We discussed how God made us all different (just like all the pictures they colored would be different) but He loves us all the same! I love walking into their class and seeing their sweet smiling faces like shown. Please keep us in your prayers regarding the following areas in the next few weeks:
