Played another football match with the boys at the project and after about 5minutes decided I had embarrassed myself enough. We had some of the children make paper snowflakes, which was quite interesting trying to explain the concept of a snowflake! We hung them across the classroom on a string.
The kids then all sat down and made bead necklaces and bracelets. It was amazing how long they were concentrated on this, even the young one's sat for several hours making jewelry.

Michael is VERY interested in Obama (if you didn't know he has Kenyan roots & they LOVE him) and American politics. He continues to "grill" me with questions, and I'm sad to say I sometimes don't know the answers!
We did a little shopping in the fabric market & I picked up two skirts for less than $12USD! We then picked up lots of Christmas decorations for a surprise party we're throwing for the kids tomorrow!
Bella Vista on Wednesday = Karaoke!!!! Meng sang 2 songs & has a very nice voice. Meri & Michelle (aka "the muzungu's") sang Santa Claus is Coming to Town & it was "fantastic"! hahahaha Quite an experience.
December 23, 2010 - Not much to report on this day. Another day at the project & we surprised the kids with decorations for a Christmas tree, cookies, party hats & noise makers! They had a blast decorating the tree in the morning and then we gave them cookies. They sang "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" and it was adorable!
