Wow..what a week this has been.. Teacher training has been amazing.. 80 of us learning how to teach kids yoga. Everyone is working so hard and learning so much. Yesterday we brought a class to an orphanage in an informal settlement. Not all these kids (middle school age) get the opportunity to go to school. It's hard to put in words the feelings I experienced. The lesson that continues to present for me is that regardless of their living conditions, these kids are filled with love, hope, faith and joy.
Lets talk about how they live... Bathrooms are holes in the ground and the chickens roam freely. Dirt floors and thatched roofs. They have one "auntie" who cares for 20 kids..boys and girls. Irene, the most beautiful soul I have ever met brings yoga, joy and play every week. There is so much for us to learn about simplicity from the people of Nairobi.
Rich arrives on Saturday night. I'm very excited to see him. I think he'll be shocked by our accommodations...shhhhh..don't tell him.
Bonnie, I love reading all the posts. I truly cannot wait to see you and hear ALL about it. What an amazing experience. Enjoy your safari!!!
