Children of Rwanda.

The children of Rwanda. One of the highlights of my day today happened while waiting for a cab. Amy, another teacher from KICS, and I were waiting outside our gate when we saw a few children running down the road towards us. Before we knew it the few turned into about 13 children who all were dirty, did not smell good at all, and one child specifically had open sores all over his head, which I was told comes from either malnutrition or lice. Yet, they all had big smiles on their faces and were full of life. They came running up to us shacking our hands, some were a bit shy, and telling us their names. Knowing children often love having their picture taken I asked them if they would mind. They were ecstatic and immediately began posing. Since there was so many of them they would push and climb on each other to make sure they made it into the photo. After I would take it they of course, immediately, wanted to see the picture and would surround me often grabbing at the camera to get even a glimpse at their own faces. As soon as they all got a glimpse, the process began again with them posing and yelling "hey muzungu, muzungu" to which I joked, "excuse me I have a name." They often quickly fixed themselves and would say "Jenny, take picture?" It was fun to joke and play with them. They loved every minute of it and so did I.
