Closing Day at RingRoad

Today was the last day of school for the term for the RingRoad kids. We spent the morning organizing items to be handed out after the closing day assembly and awards. Similar to Allara from last week, each child was given a bag of "Christmas" food to take home, along with mosquito nets for the smaller children, and new uniforms for all. The girls were given new undewear, thanks to #pantiesforapurpose we had over 600 pairs to distribute which was amazing! The girls were excited and grateful, so thank you to everyone for contributing to this need. 

In the afternoon, Cassi, Alex and I took four of the kids from RingRoad to the Mega City shopping center to do some shopping with money sent via their sponsors. It was so great to see these kids with so little, use their money for new school shoes, school books and groceries for their families. We had an eventful time piling 7 people into a TukTuk, plus all of the goods and driving them home back towards the Nyalenda slums!

It was another full day, but filled with wonderful people and experiences - hard to believe how fast the time has gone by and we will be leaving soon to come home.

Planning to spend the weekend at the children's hospital, reunite with Obama and volunteer again at New Life baby home - Packing it in!

Thanks for the encouragement and for following the journey.
