Another fabulous day! It rained as usual last night but the morning was gorgeous. After breakfast we started on our journey to the Songoro primary school found quite a ways up the Meru Mountain. It was quite the bumpy ride up the very narrow steep mountainside. The view was breathtaking. Upon arrival the 620 children were waiting patiently. Although it poured for about 20 minutes, we were greeted by them with song. Some songs were in Swahili some were in English. We all were very impressed when they sang in English as English is considered a subject. We then handed out toys, gave out shoes and candy. The children were so excited. I think I speak for everyone when I say it's sad that our time with the children has come to an end in this trip as they have made our trip so heart wrenching and rewarding. The night sky is upon us and we are again exhausted physically and emotionally ( in a good way). We look forward to another adventure tomorrow at the Ndeoro waterfall. Talk to you all soon! Usiku mwema! (Goodnight in Swahili)
