Slideshow for the Watoto

In our weekly meeting last week it was announced that we have received enough funding at this point to double in size from 12 orphans and vulnerable children (OVCs) to 24. Thank you to all who have helped make this possible. Your generous donations will provide a daily meal for these impoverished children as well as school uniforms, bookbags and school materials.

But before we integrate the new children into the programme the volunteers thought we should do something special for the children already part of the programme, just for them before they have to share the attention. The kids love digital cameras because they get to see pictures of themselves instantly. So what better gift than a slideshow of them using projector that plays on one of the walls in the classroom. But this would require having a projector. Gayo needed his to run a computer class for the diocese which meant we had to turn to our other group of wazungu friends, the tobacco farmers. Sure enough they came through…with a clandestine operation unbeknownst to the owner of the projector, Hank. Thanks Craig for making it possible. Thanks Hank if you are reading this. Much appreciated. We cried. The children were midly amused.

Me, Craig, Siwan after the tobacco man delivered the goods.

Midly amused by the slideshow

 

Shadow puppets were a big hit
