All of these little brown eyed cuties are very dear to my heart. Since all the children are home from school for the holidays I am getting to meet more of the older siblings. One of these children is 10 year old Immaculate Jenifer N. She is the older sister to some of the little brown eyed cuties at Integrity Primary School. Her family lives across the road from where I live and her family has one father and a couple of mothers so I am really not sure who are true siblings and who are half siblings or cousins.
For the past several evenings we have ended up coloring or playing games on the veranda while talking. Yesterday she came to my apartment twice during the day... she always calls me to the door by saying..."come to the door and open it so I can show you the surprise I have for you"... very articulate young lady! So the first time she came bringing mangos and then the 2nd time to bring dyed reeds for the mat I am making. Earlier when she saw the mat... she told me it was the best one she had ever seen...
This morning as I was making breakfast she again came to the door with new year greetings and a surprise... the surprise was a hand written letter in a hand made envelope. This is what the letter said...
Dear Angella,
Praise the Lord our God. It's nice that we have successfly completed the year 2013 with God's protection.
I, Immaculate, am very glad to write to you thanking you for the things you do for us like- giving us bop it, colours to shade, Jenga, etc. May the Lord reward you. I conclude by wishing you a happy new year's celebration.
A HAPPY NEW YEAR
Your loving friend,
Immaculate N.
She also gave me a color picture where she drew me as her best friend. Will have to post the picture as it is a great representation of me! You can truly see the hearts of these children and how truly dear they are to my heart.
