Energized by Nairobi's Cheery Children Centre!

By 5 am. we were all starting to drag a bit.  Honestly, more than a bit.  Then we talked to an entire class of 4th through 12th graders in Kenya, and were brought right back to life!

We gave them a tour of our school where we showed them our hallway, posters, gyms, library, lockers, classrooms and bathrooms. They played for us with their instruments -- recorders, clarinets, saxophone, and trombone. The songs were “Hot Cross Buns” and “Jingle Bells."

We talked to them about their classes in school which they had the general subjects -- English, Math, Science, and Social Studies -- plus Swahili and Islamic Religious Instruction.  They said Science was their favorite because they learned about God's creations.

We finished the call by singing the Star-Spangled Banner at their request, then they stood and sang their national anthem for us which they all knew and sang well!
