This morning was filled with meetings, followed by blessings. I had the opportunity to eat lunch with some pretty amazing teachers. The food in the center is always good and the staff is always amazing. I so appreciate the thoughtful conversations and lighthearted moments of laughter.
After lunch we were privileged to distribute gifts from sponsors. This year sponsors had the opportunity to purchase a gift bag that we assembled in Kenya. The process began with two hours of shopping last night. The men with us were great troopers. We divided the list and off we went.
Purchasing
Two hours later we checked out with 180 each: reusable shopping bag (small plastic bags are now illegal), washing soap, sugar, fun pens and pencils, cookies and a Choco Pie treat. The older kids received a couple of gender appropriate gifts. The high school students also received a toothbrush and toothpaste.
Assembly line
The Crossroads Academy upper primary kids are filled with joy.
Even the little ones are thrilled with their treasures!
Crossroads Academy kids say thank you to their sponsors!
