I forgot to mention that the children 
will not have eye doctors or dentists when they go back to Africa, so we have been trying to make appointments for them before they leave. The other day we made it to the Optometrist and I wanted to share some pictures with you. One of the children, Busuulwa, wants to be an optometrist and so he was able to work with the doctors. None of the children had had their eyes tested before and it was so funny to watch them hold up those one eyed glasses, and totally miss their face or hold it upside down. 
What an experience to be able to watch children during all their "firsts". To my amazement, out of 26 children, only 2 need glasses. That would never happen with American children, I wonder why? Could it be all the scenes we are raised with from birth?
