These girls are Soooooo amazing. I met them while staying at the Tetu Girls Primary School for the Music Festival. I am the only American that is here that I know of. Well, after talking with a few people, I started to head towards my room. A few of the girls stopped and said HI. In English. I then started to make my way towards them. I let them ask me questions. Mind you, this is their first time seeing a Black American that is also a woman before. It seems that there is a stigma that when Kenyans here from America, that they think of white people and not blacks from America as well. Really….. I know I was asked if I was born in Kenya and I told them I wasn’t. I also told them how my parents, and their parents, etc were born in America. I said so much in a short period of time but they were encouraged. Some things I will post or write some other day because I was honest but explained to them about focusing on their education and not boys, and praying to God and having that relationship. They wanted me to sing which I did, His Eye Is On The Sparrow and later, Let Praises Rise. They also sang for me and danced. I can tell you how much I spoke to them about me and my life. Before we departed for work around the campus, I gave those who have left a hug. I really felt that I imparted into their lives. These girls won position 2 for their singing class.
