DAY 8:

Today we loaded up with about 12 people, packed our gifts, and headed about 15 minutes away to Umoja Children's Home.  It is an orphanage that has about 40 children ranging from 3 years old to 14 or so.  We showed up late morning and met with the kids in their dining hall.  We all introduced ourselves.  The children all gathered together to sing us some songs.  We sang them a song too.  The "mother" of the home took us on a tour of the property showing us the office, the dorms, and the farm.  They raise chickens and sell the eggs to help raise money for the home.  We then went out into an open field and gave them our soccer balls, coloring books with crayons and markers, and played other games with them for about 2 hours. It was so much fun.

Tomorrow we will be going to Jason & Heather's church to worship with them.  We will be making one more trip up to the pediatric ward to bring up some toys that people gave us to bring along.  Then Monday morning we will begin to make the trip back to Nairobi.  We are so excited to share our stories and pictures with all of our friends and families.
