Rafiki is friend in swahili and some of the local neighbor kids helped us paint the high school yesterday. They loved it and ended up getting paint all overthemselves (and us), but were very proud to be able to help. Here's a picture of "Al" on the right (and his friend) who both helped me. It was funny to here them argue in Swahili about how to paint properly!
Here's a picture of Gerit and Oliver with the kids after our paint fight. The kids loved watching us fling paint on each other and paint each other. Then Gerit put her hand print on one of their stomachs and they couldn't stop laughing. They kept saying "ma powda" which we still haven't figured out what that means in English. And yes, for those of you who are wondering, I was the one who started the paint fight...hopefully the kid's parents weren't too mad at us when the kids got home.
Here's a picture of Oli (Oliver) and Al's friend jammin' to Oli's ipod while painting.
It was so hot Friday afternoon that painting with the kids made it go by so much quicker. The water in the school had gone out, so we had to carry big buckets of limer down to a water spicket which must have been 1/2 mile away, then we filled up the buckets with water, and walked them back to the school.
