Karibu Kibeta

We had visitors this month!  Bishop Rimbo from the NY Metro Synod, his wife, and other members of the Synod paid a visit to Bukoba. The NY Metro Synod has been incredible partners to KEMPS over the years so everyone was excited to see them and they were excited to visit again. 

The students put together a show for the visitors.  It included singing, dancing, skits, etc.  Watching the kids perform is always one of my favorite moments.  When the Ngoma, traditional dancing, started, the Bishop even joined in.

The visitors also came with an array of amazing gifts from the members of their churches.  They brought art supplies, jump ropes, tennis balls, an entire suitcase full of snacks for us, and I think the favorite......a new soccer net.

We used all the candy they brought to celebrate Halloween.  The students all said 'trick or treat' in exchange for sweets.  It was a fun way for us to celebrate and include the students!

And of course, Halloween is also Nino's birthday.  So we spent some time celebrating him as well!

Thanks again for all the goodies and for visiting.  We enjoyed having you here!
