Leaving Garissa
December 9Leaving Garissa. Saying goodbye to our African children and friends is so hard. We have had a good time reconnecting, and it felt so wonderful to bring them help through the funds we raised at the Garden Party this past summer.We had a chance to arrange a special lunch with Nicolas, one of the young Christian boys in the school who has won a special place in my heart. He was honored to arrive at our hotel by taxi, enjoy a good meal, gifts, and a note to take to his father with a cash donation from a Canadian friend who wanted to help a family here. We signed the necessary contracts with Rukia, the school headmistress, and the contractor to build the needed grade-three-and-four classroom. We will leave it in their capable hands and hope to have completed photos of it in January when our friends from Canada return to the area and can hopefully send them along. A wonderful feeling to know we have accomplished our goals for the Africa school and Africa children while here in Kenya. We take the early morning bus back to Nairobi tomorrow.
