My wisdom teeth are coming in......ouch! My friend Christina left last night. I think out of everyone that has left so far it was hardest to watch her leave. It is hard for me because since all the volunteers live in Britain they will go home and be a couple hours away and will go on day trips and travel together....then there is me. The American that probably won't see any of them for a few years at least. But I know that we will keep in touch. A couple of us anyway.
The two boys of the day:
Moses: Moses is 13. His smile makes my day every time I see him. Consistently everyday he walks up to me and says "Hi! I am Claire who are you?" and I respond "I am Moses it is so nice to meet you!". He cracks up every time and I can't help but laugh even though it happens every day. I can be all the way across the orphanage and he will run over to me to greet me. He is so welcoming and loves to beat me at football (not that it is hard). I am still learning about him and what he does in school and his interests but I needed to write about him now because he makes me so happy every time I see him. He has so much joy and life in him. It is contagious. I will let you know when I learn more about him as a person.
Elvis (Okos): Elvis is 14. He will turn 15 on May 19 (he is angry with me because I leave a couple days before his birthday). His mom is an Auntie and he has 7 siblings. One of his sisters is named Tracy (she is so adorable!!) He acts way older and looks way older than he is although he has his moments. The boys had a game boy donated to them and he is very good at all those games. He is the best at haggling prices on taxis for me and is very protective. Sometimes he gets easily offended by the other boys but just because he is younger. He is always leaving the home to go get his older brother food. He loves fried plantain and yam. Lately I haven't seen much of him. I am not sure why but he has been quiet.
