Starting a new thing... I select "shuffle" on my ipod and the song on there is the song of the day... Should be fun! Song of the day: Wiz Khalifa- "Black and Yellow"

We went to KidzCare again! It feels like I have not seen the kids in so long! I was truly excited to see them. I felt like a child trying to go to sleep on Christmas eve...
Both Mary and Rob picked us up! The vehicle was packed! Five of us interns and Mary and Rob... We had to use the trunk seats. Mary and I volunteered to sit back there and I quite enjoyed it. I was able to discuss the fundraising I will be doing when I return to Canada for the orphanage as well as the curriculum I was wanting to create for their little primary school. She was excited for it all which only reenforced my excitement!
All the kids are out of school right now so we played from morning until late afternoon! We also got to meet Dennis, a great guy who is Tanzanian and comes to volunteer his time with the kids every weekend after he works/gets trained all week as a mechanic. I have heard so much about him and was very happy to meet him. The kids love him and he is very friendly!
Today was the most difficult day to leave. One of the twin boys wrap hugged me and while I had him in my lap he put his forehead on mine and looked into my eyes telling me not to go. I told him I had to and he had a bit of a fit, telling me to stay. It was hard to look into his beautiful innocent eyes and tell him I had to leave. In fact, all of the kids were very huggie today when we were saying goodbye. They were hanging on much longer than usual, not wanting to let go. To be honest, I did not want to let go either. I wanted to throw my own fit and demand to stay...
Reluctantly, I finished all my hugs and then we left. The kids chased after our car like they always do and I could hear their adorable voices yelling "BYYYEEE!!!!!!!" as we drove off.
I guess I expected it to get harder... but still...
On a happier note! We are planning to have the children over to our house for dinner and to watch The Lion King! Should be fantastic!!!
Picture of the day:
Two of the girls playing in the sand making a town with big houses. It reminded me of myself when I was their age. I used to always build cities in the sand and then use twigs and leaves to decorate the buildings!
Until we meet again, thank you for reading!
