In Nairobi day 3

Today was a day to summarize and review all the work that we will do. So much preparation and perfection is needed because most everyone else will be here for 2 months and they will be working on the case adoption files everyday at their separate homes.

We will be using an Amani Interns google document which have folders and files on it. There's a folder for each of the homes. For example, there's an "Archives-Kisumu" folder and a "Current-Kisumu" folder. In the current folders there sub folders for babies, toddlers, and crawlers. We will create a document for each of the babies which will ultimately be about 20 to 25 pages.

This will include:
- any basic information (name, dob, current home, etc)
- a case summary (how, where, and by whom, and in what condition the baby was found, police and hospital report),
- Personality Assessment (cognitive, social, emotional development, motor skills, and interests,
- Photographs
- Archived documents (scanned hand written or any other hard copies)
- a table of contents

We also went to another Home, called the Ark, which is where older children (4-10 years old) stay. They were so much fun because we could talk with them and have conversations with them. We played futbol, jump rope, we drew pictures and played games, and some of the kids took our cameras and wanted to take pictures. They pretty much wore us out. They were so much fun to talk to and interview them on camera! We were there almost all afternoon and had to run home before it started raining since we all had cameras. I loved getting to play with the older kids, the toddlers and crawlers will now seem low key!

At the apartment, my cooking crew made Pad Thai for dinner which was very scrumptious!
We then looked over our pictures and told stories of our other travels around the world.

Ps I got a travel guitar for really cheap and have been playing all night too :D
Yay meaningful Kenya souvenirs!

Now we're going to Sporcle before bed, we're playing the "name all the countries in the world quiz" I love this group!
Kwaheri!
