Everything that I could write about the children has been written many times and you’ve read it many times. It all seems so trite. I’ll let the pictures do the talking. The kids have no toys, no games, no playground. Their balls are home-made tightly packed plastic bags tied together with twine. They love having their picture made because they also have no mirrors. They squeal and giggle when you show them their image on the back of the camera.
The girls start toting their little brothers and sisters when they are 4 or 5 years old.
Twins that have won our hearts.
My fellow Habitaters were much more prepared than me. They brought bats, balls, jump ropes, coloring books and even nail polish. These girls just got a Malawi Manicure.
We also visited a local school today, more on that tomorrow.
Ultimately we are here to build houses and we do that in between games with the children.
