Have you experienced an African massage? On the way to the Nest, we had our first experience of it! :) The Nest is such an awesome organization, with a nursery, and boarding and schooling for school-aged children. When we first met the kids, they sang a welcome song for us. I was so touched! They sang in unison, with hand motions, in both English and Swahili. And as we moved to the dining room for the Daniel and the Lions' Den story, they wanted to take our hands to lead them into the room. They are just so sweet and innocent, but I know they have been through a lot. There was this one child who kept on giving me a hug, or wanting to be hugged. He didn't say a word - I don't even know his name. But he kept on sticking near me. So, I stayed near him, and sang with him.
