Thursday 16th October

(posted Sat 18th)
Thursday started with a hearty breakfast including hard boiled eggs
We then went off to meeting at the church first thing and after watching a video about some of the situations the children Watoto work with are rescued from, heard the church choir practicing.
This was an emotional time for some of the group seeing a side of life they hadn't before.
We then went to the mall and had some lunch as well as sorting out some mobile phones for the group to use as our British SIM cards weren't working.
In the afternoon we went to Bullrushes Baby home and saw many babies at different stages of life. We weren't allowed any physical interaction with the children but could watch them play and smile.
The home also has a special care unit with incubators for those who need that extra level of support

We came back to the guest house after this and had a dinner of chicken casserole, rice and rosti potatoes.

Over the course of the day the group noticed that, not only were there a huge number of motorbikes around, but they also carried some unusual loads. This has started a game amongst the Young People to see who can see the most unusual load on the back of a bike. Today being transported by bike we saw…

  • 3 Barrels
  • 40” TV
  • White board
  • A hedge trimmer
