I'm forever blowing bubbles (and balloons)

Tuesday morning we were, once again, up bright and early (ok, maybe not so bright). We clambered into the bus to head towards THQ to share in prayers and meet the Territorial Leadership Team. We received a warm welcome from each person we met and were privileged to spend some time in the office of the Territorial Commander. After we'd been shown round, we moved on from there to the elephant orphanage.
I have news for you.
Elephants do not sound like elephants.
Well, ok, elephants don't sound like they do in disney films. The orphanage cares for just under 30 elephants who have lost their parents or otherwise been separated from their families. They were very cute and it was a wonderful opportunity to be able to see them up close like that.
After lunch, we travelled to Kabete children's home, where we spent time with the nursery children. We'd planned various group activities for them, some of which totally fell by the wayside when we blew up the first balloon. An afternoon of fun, laughter, parachute games, balloons and bubbles followed. It was amazing to see the faces of those children light up as we shared what we would consider to be very simple things with them. They were so friendly and so happy to greet us - I think we all had a very enjoyable afternoon (apart from, perhaps, a few light-headed balloon-blower-upers).
More of our adventures to be posted soon (likely to include the story of the 4 breakfasts!) so keep watching this space!
Blessings and love to all back home.
