Thank you, Emma

We asked Paul (Chris's brother) for some kiddie books to share with the kids in Kenya. Paul gave us a few of Emma (his 3 year old daughter's) books.

 
Today I had Library class with the kids. Obviously, there is no library here - so I had to take a few books in. Library class usually involves kids fighting over about 20 used, ruined and torn books to read and look at the pictures. Today, I was able to take in some relatively new books that previous volunteers had bought, plus Emma's books in.

 
The kids loved 'em! They loved the colours and the feel of the new books. I did a lesson with them about looking after their books. They won't stay new forever, but it was certainly good to not fight over torn books.

It's awesome to see the kids having a good time with the books. Glad Emma could help in a small way. Lots of love, Paul.

Wow!! Those photos are awesome! I'm so glad the kids are enjoying the books, it means a lot to us and Emma to share books. We will have to send some regularly if that's helpful.

Good work you two, very inspiring! I love reading the blogs.
