As usual, I had my weekly long "chat", via Skype with Vincent, who runs the children's home.
He was amused earlier this week when he was watching two of the youngest children, Benta (5) and Josephat (4) playing.
Josephat has a small scratch on his hand and Benta was cleaning it up for him
"I am going to be a doctor when I grow up," she announced.
Not wanting to be outdone, Josephat announced that he was going to be an airplane pilot and that he was getting a plane after school. Then he would take all the kids at the home for a ride.
He then ran round the compound, arms outstretched, flying his plane.
Davis has been very constructive. He has built a truck from an old plastic container. Many African kids do this. But Davis's truck was a tipper truck, and it worked. By working a lever, the back of the truck tips up and empties its load. Neat!
Generally, there is no change in Kisii. It is quiet, as always, the refugees are still there, and food is still hard to come by - no change there then!
