Heading
Today was a day of goodbyes, hellos, and many emotions. We started off the day by going to a school in Kakamega to do our second hygiene teaching for both boys and girls. The boys and girls were so receptive to the teaching, and you could see on their faces that they were engaged and enjoying hearing what we had to say. When we finished teaching, the teachers expressed their thanks for us coming and spending time with the children and welcomed us back anytime.
We then headed back to the compound to pack up all of our suitcases to head to Siaya. It was an emotional moment for everyone as we said goodbye to some of the team that we were leaving in Kakamega. Together we sang songs and finished with a wonderful prayer. Tears were flowing as it felt like leaving family. We all said, "Tuto aonana Mungu akipenda," which is Swahili for "We will meet again, God willing."
When we arrived in Siaya and met up with the team, it was smiles all around as we hugged and welcomed each other. We had time for a few visits, so the team split up into two groups and was able to visit both Rosalita and Monica. Each time we visit the widows, they encourage us as much as we encourage them. It was then time to head back and settle in so that we can prepare for all of the adventures to come. Goodbye Kakamega, and hello Siaya.
