I Made So Many Friends Today!

The thing about the children here is they are so open and accepting. We are a novelty. Our skin. Our hair. Today I was surrounded by all these sweet faces, little uniformed people. Then their hands begin to reach out, touching my skin, my hair. Soon I let them take my hair out of its braid and several little hands were in my hair, braiding it, twisting it. The delight was absolutely mutual. Everyone kept saying oh, your hair, it’s going to be so knotted! but the fact is I did my hair just for these kids today because I know they are fascinated by it. It is for them & I welcomed their little hands all over & in it. It is all so much ❤️.
