Welcome to Ilula

After lunch on Saturday, the team headed to Ilula.  We picked up Adele and Dr. Fitzgerald at the Eldoret Air Strip and continued to Ilula.  There will be an additional update at a later time regarding their trip to Korr, Kenya.  

The team was again greeted by singing as we arrived at the Children's Home in Ilula.  Each team member went around the circle and greeted each child individually.  Everyone was so welcoming!  We were also given red, yellow, and orange roses.  Then the older children treated us to three songs on their flute-a-phones, or recorders.  Then they sang more songs and recited Bible verses and chapters.  

Each team member was asked to introduce themselves and was greeted warmly by the Children's Home director and staff members.  When the formal introductions were done, the children immediately came to us for hugs and personal greetings.
