As you travel through Africa we see poverty all around and it makes us think how privileged we are to have a roof over our heads and food to eat every day. Yet we seem to find things to pick on and discuss and get upset about, most of the time for no reason or without any possibility to change them in any way.
Here for most people there is no stress on what to dress for the day or whether they are looking good or getting too fat or worrying which car to get next.
These 6 kids welcomed us as we arrived at our lunch place and started speaking to us immediately. They loved the bike and they specially liked the Superman I have on the beak.
We went in and had this most scrumptious meal and good time. When we came out they were still there waiting to have a talk about what it was like to travel to so many countries. They of course had not had anything to eat and probably would not have until that evening if at all.
They did not beg, they just spoke to us and wanted to hear why I had so many lights, etc etc.
In the end we bought each a sandwich which they thanked us profusely for and gave them some stickers which they proudly wore on their jerseys as it added color to their well worn clothing.
Through the whole encounter they smiled and were most welcoming.
We gave them some things, they gave me reason to think and ponder how we live our lives.
In my eyes I was the greatest receiver ...
