Byrds in Kenya

Thursday, July 21, 2011

We traveled to Kitale this week to teach classes at a remote branch called Mautuma. We stayed in Kitale with Elder and Sister Beecher. We had some great classes and a chance to visit with the Beechers.

Another Colobus tries to stay hidden behind tree branch but his tail gives him away.

A rare moment when the Colobus Monkey is sitting down. Most of the time it jumps or runs from one branch to another.

Eva and I visited an orphanage in Nairobi where we spent an hour with 70 children aged 4 to 14. They invited us to dance with them.

Mom taught the children "Let's Go On a Lion Hunt."

Some of the children dancing.

After their performance for us, we followed them back to their small compound where they live.

This is the kids home, where they live on meager supplies and in sparse facilities.
