Thursday we visited Kachororoni Primary School where my sponsored kids attend. The drive was long and really rough. There were many spots that didn't look like a road at all. More like a rough dry river bed or tiny hiking trail. But we made it. Our first stop was Grandma Chome's house. She is the guardian of Sifa and Jacob as well as their brothers, Japhet who is in college, and Lemmy in primary school. She is also the Grandma of the Safaris who live with their mom a short walk away. There are 8 Safaris who are all MKKs. Our kids are Ngao and Gloria and we have sponsored them for about 5 years. Getting to meet them and hug them and being introduced as their "mom" was a special moment.
We first visited their house and Grandma or Nyanya Chome fed us a wonderful brunch. I found out I love chapati. They're almost like tortillas and delicious. Then we went to the school, met the Head Teacher (principal), and all the kids. As we got out of the car every kid from that school crowded around to try and touch Rachel and I. It was overwhelming. I talked with them a moment, found out they are older than I thought, and took lots of pictures. There's pictures in the album of me with my 2 and me with all the kids I met. Overall it was overwhelming but awesome.
