Kids!!

This is me LOVING on Esther, Fred, and Nelly!

Today I did clinical hours at St. Martin, a hospice in Choma. Behind the facility is a school for orphan children where I spent the last half of the morning. Out of 120 children who are enrolled, 95 have HIV/AIDS and all are vulnerable. The program is for children who do not have any where to go in the afternoons, after attending their community school in the mornings. There are also children who are too young to go to school, so they are there for most of the day. Fred, Esther, and Nelly are the little ones I really connected with and immediately fell in love with!

I had so much fun playing with them! They all speak English so it was easy to interact with them and play games. We played hide-and-seek, red rover, had story time, and I taught them "Every Move I Make" (even with the hand motions)!

Like always, it was so hard to leave because I quickly was attached to the children! It was painful to leave because I left a piece of my heart there! ...and I still can't stop thinking about them!
