When Little Faces Light Up

Without wanting to wish my life away, I am really looking forward to Saturday, when I will be at the Twiga Centre with a majority, if not all the kids on the register.

On my first visit, I took toothbrushes and pencils (with a rubber on the end) for the children, and their were smiles from all of them, so what will the reaction be, especially of the younger ones, when they see cars, dolls and games for them to play with.

There will also be a selection of clothes for the most needy.

But it is the little ones I want to see when they see the toys. Many will not even know what a toy is - they have never had anything other than sticks to play with.

While I am there, and if I can find a suitable tree, we will be putting up a tyre on a rope to swing on, and I think we can also make a see-saw, if the plank I saw last time is still on the plot.

Yes, it may be a bit early for Christmas, but I won't be hearing any complaints, I am certain of that!

Thank you for your kind words. Believe me, I was not disappointed with the reaction I received on arriving in Kisii - it was well worth the work in collecting the toys, games and clothes for the children.
I will write more when I get back home.
