Mango!

Everyday, children come and line up at the P's bamboo fence to play. They know the family does not come out to be with them until later afternoon, but they begin to line up earlier and earlier nonetheless. We've averaged around 65 kids per day and even had close to 100 at one point! The boys play soccer and the girls play games with singing and dancing. Some days we get out frisbees and it's always a hoot to watch them play. B is constantly giving medical care during this time as so many have cuts and worms as well as colds and fevers. Every child is just so beautiful and I'm truly going to miss their faces when we're gone. My name is very hard for the Tanzanians to say as they do not have the '-er' sound in their language. A few are able to choke out my name but most call me Embe, which means mango.
