There isn't anything out there that is cooler than a good old session of 'slip n slide'...especially when you are doing it on the last day of camp in Kitale, Kenya with 100 of your favorite glue- sniffing street kids. It should be an event in the 2012 Olympic Games in London.
Katie and Allie and Jana and Jaime and Zack rolled out the 30 yard poly wall and then lubed it down and added water and...instant INSANITY !!!!
Just like dancing in Kenya, no two street boys 'slide and glide' with the same flair, but everyone cracks me up and everybody has a good time...watching or slip sliding away. Remember that there are no SIX FLAGS in Kitale, no water themed parks...Wild Rivers REALLY IS WILD RIVERS !!!Hippos eat people here, they don't dance in cartoon tutus.
And the point of this camp...
Even when life has you turned a bit sideways...there is love and hope and real change out there...John 10:10
Steve: Love this stuff. Keep up the good work.

You can get a bath and some fun at the same time on a slip and slide......that's kind of like "two for one". Great photos!
ReplyDeleteThose may LOOK like glue-sniffing street kids.....but to me...They are just GOD's kids...kids that I have been given the enormous honor and privilege of having in my life...to feed, love and laugh with.
ReplyDeleteSteve..thanks for loving Oasis of Hope.
Oasis of Hope loves YOU!
