Here are the soccer winners! These girls are great. The two in the middle are Winnie and Faith. Winnie has a twin named Quinta - they are quite the characters. I'm sure I will have more stories in the near future.

This is a tuc-tuc. It is one of the many ways we get transported around Kisumu - I was in one when I took this picture. The other two main ways are by bota-bota (bicycles with seats on the back that you sit on) and moto's (motorcycles that you ride on the back of as well.

These sweet girls are (from left) Vio, Eunice and Pauline. They hardly speak any English, but LOVE to count to 10 in all three languages (English, Luo and Swahili)

This is Pauline again. She has been here about a month - she came from a very abusive household. She has the sweetest personality, but is so tender. If anyone admonishes her, even just a little bit, she will completely recede inside herself. She'll let you pick her up and then she will just sit on your lap for hours.


These are the kids with their valentines - they all made one and then we handed them back out on Valentine's Day with a treat. They had so much fun! They were so cute with things like "You are my sweetheart" written on them.
