Day 3

Day three started with rain - with no sign of easing.

Since we weren't sure how to get to Willow Park, we were chaperoned out to the site by Buke.  We loaded up the van with five guitars, a bag of clothes, Pictionary, cards for some of the kids, a few gifts, guitar strings, picks and tuners.

Once the guitars were tuned, we played some songs for the girls, all of which were completely unprepared and improvised on the spot.  This was followed immediately by the girls singing an playing us some songs.

Lunch consisted of sudza and beans - which Jonno experienced for the first time.  The result?  The other two enjoyed it - although Jonno's sudza-to-bean ratio was out slightly, something that only time can fix.

After lunch we swung by the babies house at the bottom of the hill.  Walking through the door we were swamped by a sea of little kids all wanting to be picked up and played with.  One notable kid was the little on who jumped on Andrew's lap and didn't stop smiling the whole time!

On tomorrows agenda is heading out to the village again and starting guitar and keyboard lessons.

Over and out,


Alex

P.S. To the one that asked Andrew for a picture of a monkey, please find your photo attached.
