There is a new phenomenon in the Benabena village I call the "Velcro Effect"!

I encountered the phenomenon today while taking photos with the kids! There are 2 key elements which  make this possible:  their short, coarse hair and my long hair. When we get close my hair sticks to theirs and viola! Velcro!

I had a blast with them today and it was the first time I really felt we were able to connect!

We’ve spent a lot of time together, but with the language and cultural barriers, it’s hard to meet them on their level. Even their sense of humor is different and that’s how I ALWAYS connect with kids.

We ran around, played games, tickled, and hugged! The picture above is from when I was teaching them how to take photos with my camera! (We might have the next "Ansel Adams" in the bunch!)

All that to say I’m so grateful to be here spend time with these kids and pass God’s love on to them. I don’t take this opportunity for granted. Thank you for praying!
