Meet Dylan and Caleb. Dylan is my brother. Caleb is a student. I saw Caleb, the largest kid on campus, who is ridiculously strong and gentle (though he fights that reputation) and immediately decided that any time I missed Dylan I would poke Caleb. I gave him warning. He tolerates it quite well all things considered! In all seriousness, neat, neat kid.
note the matching goofy smiles and the avoidance of eye contact. they were both being cool and not smiling and so i had to threaten them. big sisters can be scary.
These are not secondary students as I am sure you realized, they are local neighborhood kids who don't go to school but graze cows and goats. The third one from the left, in the pink ruffled dress is Ariyo, the darling girl who runs after the other kids telling them that I have a name, it is not mzungu. She is holding the hand of one of her older sisters and her little brother who is almost 2. He just now started walking. The rest are her friends from the fields who now greet both Rebekah and I and come for hugs. They are wearing new outfits provided by mom, erica and sarah (thanks to elle and chloe for sharing!!)
