Today was a day spent volunteering at the TunaHAKI center and it was tons of fun but also hard work. Maggie was teaching them tumbling skills, like forward rolls, handstands, backwards rolls, cartwheels and more! Dorrie loves to meet and so she had an in depth meeting with the director of the facility, David Ryatula. He told her all his ideas about what he sees going forward as TunaHAKI grows and Dorrie took detailed notes. We also got to work with the children on a penpal project which is challenging since none of us volunteers speak Swahilli! We are taking some great photos though and seeing some beautiful sights of this incredibly warm culture! The people smile and wave when we pass by. . . "makes me feel warm and fuzzy all over," Maggie says. Tonight the TunaHAKI kids will perform for us at the hotel. I'm sure it will be a great show. We'll try to post again on Wednesday when we're back in town.

OOOOOO how I'd love to see Mag's tumbling with those kids! Treasure everyday of your journey and when returning home your bags will be light but your hearts will no doubt be heavy. Kiss the babies for me

Use mosquito repellent. The wipes are best. If you can't find any I will send some.
Love DAD
