Skillz Holiday












This kid grabbed me, pulled me to the side, and posed for this photo




This week we are running a program called "Skillz Holiday".  It is designed for kids to be in most of the day while their schools are on break.  It runs from 8:30 to 2:30 I believe.  I went yesterday for the day to Motherwell to help out.  We are trying to get a story about our Skillz Holiday in the GRS newsletter so we are documenting it particularly well.  Because of this I spent most of my time taking pictures.  These kids LOVE to get their pictures taken so there are a lot of individual and group posing shots.  Wherever I was there were kids yelling "Mulungu! Mulungu! (White person!) Take my picture!"  I got some really good ones of activities though too and of their soccer games.

The rest of the time I was making sandwiches - over 400 of them.  Eish!
