Today was our day to count and pack our medical supplies, organize, prepare, and repack educational supplies, and then take the senior class from New Dawn High School to Bomas of Kenya. Bomas is the cultural heritage center that typical elementary students go to for their yearly field trip to see replications of traditional village and tribal life and examples of traditional tribal dancing. Our students from New Dawn, however, have never had this experience growing up and so it was a great surprise for them to finally go.
Here is Judy above, and Tim and Robyn preparing one of our VBS crafts for the Jamii students.

In the middle of our visit to Bomas, the students put on their own impromptu song and dance routine for us. They are so outgoing and friendly. Engaging as many of us as were willing and teaching us their songs. Tim tried teaching them American Hip Hop. They all thought that was hilarious. They did better learning hip hop than we did learning Kenyan dancing.
