Just a little intro: Nicole (my sister-in-law) answers her door everyday at around 1:00pm to give a little treat to boys that are sent away from their families to learn the Koran but also spent the majority of their days begging. Many do not know their family and often do not return.
I brought a soccer ball and a basketball to Senegal in hopes of getting to play a bit and be involved in the kids' life. We told a few kids to come and 30 came
The kids are coming!

| We are playing on the street like kids do in Canada. The kids' feet are so tough as there is glass and thorns in the sand. They don't have shoes. |
After the game we had cookies and water.
And if they already had a cookie and you offer another they will be so honest to tell you that they already had one.
Hi Ellana, Mr> Zoller, and Lilly,
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely blog! It is fantastic and so cool to follow you on your adventure. We miss you lots, and would love to Skype with you soon! :)
From Ms. Jarvis's Class!
Hello! We miss you all too! Glad to hear that you are following our blog and we need to update it because we have been having a busy week and have lots of fun pictures to show you.
DeleteYes, we should Skype soon. Will be fun to see you and have a chat. We were going to try this afternoon but just called and you are out at the High School.
p.s. Lily says hello too. She started crawling the first day we arrived in Africa. :)
