I am at Kawelu Primary


I have spent the last couple two days visiting Kawelu Primary School outside of  Makindu, Kenya.  The students are absolutely wonderful.  They have been waiting for me, and they have prepared some dances for me.  I am one of the guests of honor at their fundraiser, which is called a Harambee.  When we first pulled up at the school, the children ran over to us and completely surrounded our car.  They were amazed to see me.  Their greeting was incredible.  Wherever I walked around their campus, there was an entorage of students following me, or peeping through windows trying to get a look at me. I have to say that this experience is quite humbling.  I am not used to people making a big deal over me.
