A full and rewarding week at Amani Baby Cottage
This has been a packed week for the team but most rewarding in many ways. We have assisted in re-arranging the rooms for Amani, painting a couple of rooms, transforming one room into a preschool with a painted blackboard, pulled weeds out of walk-ways, had a Noah's Ark craft with the preschoolers, gave a lesson that incorporated goldfish and animal cookies, played with the babies, built relationships with the "mommas" and "auntees" and volunteers and staff, played "dress Up" with the babies, walked alot, worked alot, played hard, laughed, cried, have eaten really well thanks to "momma cook" and Surjios Guest House, and lots more that I'm sure I am leaving out. It's amazing how fast relationships build. It's even more amazing how fast we have all grown to love this place so deeply that it hurts to think about leaving. While many of the tasks seem small, the love that was produced is HUGE!
