When I went back down the children were still
doing exams, so I came back to the house and played with Amanda, she struggled
to eat dinner, so we played the aeroplane game again. She finished every last
bit.
Once the older girls finished school I took a
few of them to buy the sodas Tom had promised to buy them. Or some reason the
shop was shut, so we went to one further down. I didn’t realise but there are
shops all over.
We got back to Amani house and I spent some time
with all the kids watching 101 Dalmatians and then a group outside on the steps
just wanted to cuddle. We played jump rope games and then I decided I should
probably go so the mommas could let them nap.
After I had gotton my things organised I went to
see Stephen, who wasn’t feeling too well still. He was sleepy and coughing so I
sat and rocked him to sleep, he’s so tiny in my arms, and it seemed to work
because he perked up loads after that.
I just got back from helping the mommas and some
of the standard 4 girls peel potatoes, it took forever to peel enough potatoes
for all the kids in the orphanage and some of the girls were using huge ‘murderers
knives’ top cut with.
One thing I forgot to mention from yesterday was
the sky. I went outside around 8:30pm to see if the kids were still up (they
weren’t) but I stayed outside laid on an old bench staring at the night sky; it
was so clear and the stars were so brings. Truly beautiful.
I just laid there letting my eyes get accustomed
to the dark. The longer I stayed to more stars appeared. I loved it.
I also walked Pamela home to say goodbye, and I
saw Calvin too, he gave me a massive hug and said he would miss me a lot. I’ll
miss them both too.
