Day 2: to the centre of the earth

We spent the morning at the school and as soon as we walked through the gates the children came rushing over to greet us with hugs and high fives.  They entertained us with singing before Harry and Cameron played football until they were too hot and exhausted to continue.  Abi played clapping games whilst Alex organised skipping and Natasha had her hair dismantled and then rearranged.

Lorraines bubbles casued great excitment for the children with them squeeling in delight.  Kevin spent most of the time taking photos of the children which they immediately wanted to see.  Rose and I disappeared to the shop to get food for the children and after they had been fed they attempted to teach Harry Swahili (he is now practically fluent!).

The younger children were then collected and taken to their slum...24 children in one car! 

We then all took a walk along a very hot and dusty road to the equator where we were shown the water going clockwise or anti clockwise depending on which hemisphere we were standing in!  On our return route we stopped in to see Rose's daughter Watare having her hair braided.  Lorraine now on home territory in hair salons joined in - Watch out Apollo she might get a job here!

In the evening Rose needed to go and pick Aloe Vera from the garden to soothe the burnt skin of the gang (I did warn them to use lotion), Cameron's arms, neck and face needed attention, poor Alex had to use Aloe Vera everywhere and Abi said Harry looked like a shiny tomato!
