Haller Park with Barnabas kids

Today we took a group from Barnabas Children’s Center to Haller Park.

First we stopped in Shanzu to pick up supplies for lunch and caught Joyce enjoying her breakfast.

Somehow we got 8 adults and 27 children into the matatu.

The kids sang as we drove the few miles to the park entrance.

After we’d been dropped off.
