Friday we were picked up by Yeshaia and driven to Salidi Oval Club. This is an Educational Trust organization that provides sports training and an education for talented Kenyans, many of them orphans. The director, Liz, has opened the facility for a homeschooling group, Elimu Nyumbani (Swahili for home education), allowing them to use a meeting room, the field, and swimming pool. We had a long conversation with her about home schooling, and she was excited about how some of the homeschooling concepts might be applied to the children she works with.
The homeschooling group invited us to share about our experiences, and then asked a few questions. After that they reviewed Hebrew vocabulary. This was followed by an exercise class outside on the football field. Swimming was then available. After lunch, David, Kayla and I played some music and taught them a few songs. Although most of them belong to a Messianic fellowship, none knew anything about Hebraic dance. Gail taught them the steps to Hava Nagila, and they had a great time as we increased the tempo to a furious pace.
Afterwards we went to Java House for coffee and snacks and Internet, however the Internet was so slow, it took several minutes for each page load. We then returned home and had supper and some conversation. Time for sleep. Tomorrow we visit Yeshaia’s Tanakh Assembly.
