Several of the neighborhood boys want to learn how to play guitar. If you can play guitar here, you can actually get a pretty good job fairly easily. It is a fairly rare instrument to play and most churches pay guitarists to play.
On this day, Stewart and I split the group in half. Stewart taught a lesson on solo improvisation to the more advanced boys while I worked on basic chords and strumming patterns with the beginners. They are learning very fast.

12 June 2012
We had a little talent show in our house on the night of 12 June 2012 before the first wave of volunteers began leaving. It was fun to see a different side of everyone.
The Married Couple, Liz and Nate Gardner performing a funny aerobics routine. With the help of Whitney's (I think) and Stewart's legs.
On the last night before she left, Olivia broke out the bubbles and jump rope to use with the neighborhood children. This is right outside our front gate. See if you can spot my favorite little neighborhood boy. More often than not, we see him either naked on his front porch or close to naked. Other times, we find him wearing a dress or whatever clothing his mom puts him in that day. When he yells at us as we walk by, his little grin gets so big it looks like it will rip his mouth open. ( in this picture he is wearing blue underwear...and that's all)
Fun with bubbles
Here is Trevor, there will probably be many more pictures of him by the end of the summer. It is hard not to laugh as I walk past his house every day. Whether he is dressed like a girl or a boy or not at all, it is hilarious to see his reaction as soon as he spots one of us. He goes completely crazy jumping and waving and smiling calling out with his super high voice "bye Muzungu"
