Wow! Day 1 was GREAT! We went to an HIV orphanage, where kids and adults are tested for HIV and then schooled on how to take care of themselves and protect themselves. The myths are huge here about HIV, so education is very important. After the kids sang and danced and then we ate rice and beans, handed out suckers and lots of toys :) We walked down to watch some boys at a local school play soccer for us. We took two soccer balls and I presented one to my team captain and Hadley gave one to hers. Well after a team "pep talk" 1-2-3 GO TEAM! My team pulled out the victory with penalty kicks. (good thing I have been brushing up on my soccer rules). We rode a boda boda (motorcycle today) first time for me, three people on one boda boda! Pictures are hysterical :) Mom and Gio are feeling much better. Excited for day two!! We are going to buy a modem tomorrow so I can hopefully upload some pictures. Continue to pray as we follow our hearts. Love you all!!!
