Everyone got right to playing with the Dorcas House kids! Games played were volleyball, duck-duck-goose, "down by the banks...", and more. There was a general inquisitiveness from the Dorcas House kids to our crew: They were fascinated by the cameras we brought, the few adults' smart phones, our sunglasses, etc. They also had such oride in their rooms and wanted to show us around. Each bedroom had bunk beds and meals are eaten in the kitchen and on card tables that are set up daily to accomodate everyone. (The really little kids always ate first at the small tables... Otherwise they would get too rambunctious). While the home is incredibly small for 32 kids to be living there, they had all of the basic ammenities and you could sense community. Leaving was tough... Many gave hugs, and one little girl even cried because she didn't want us to go.
Our next adventure today (getting back across the border) was an interesting excursion in and of itself! I will have the kids blog about that tomorrow, give their reflections of the day, and we'll add more pics then. Good night!
