The hardest work brings the best rewards!

So I had mentioned, way-back-when, that we had offered to build desks for KYEEDA school in the Korogocho slum. This is where we taught for a day. Well, with many issues getting materials and delays on a build date - we finally did it!

Last Tuesday, Kevin and I went to the school and built benches (not desks) for all the nursery children. We built 10 new benches and then repaired 3 old ones. We also repaired 5 old desks.

Of course it was one of the hottest days yet, but for 6 hours in the blazing sun we sawed...with a dull saw, and hammered...with a broken hammer, and got the job done!! This was one of the most  rewarding  days yet!   :o)

By the time we finished, the nursery children had gone home, so we got some of the older kids to come and sit on the benches, so we could determine how many we could seat in total. Although the older kids squeezed in, we know that 6 of the little nursery children will fit comfortably on each bench.

Today, we went back to the school and were elated to find out that every child in the school now has a place to sit - what a great feeling!! The children were so excited - screaming, and jumping on us... it was awesome!!
