Watoto Wa Baraka Children: A Photo Essay
// May 13th, 2010 // Kenya, Volunteer
I have wrapped up my stay at Watoto Wa Baraka (WWB) orphanage here in Kenya. I wrote about my anxiety going into my second stay here, and I still don’t know that I’ve formed a conclusion on the second time around: it was definitely different. I have a few more posts about my time at WWB, but for now I want to share with you about these cute kids! In 2008, during my first volunteer stay, I took lots of photos. This time I never even pulled out my SLR camera, but rather, just took a couple of snapshots here and there with my pocket camera. I can’t say I have great photos of them this time around but the kids are so cute that I wanted to share these snapshots. Hope you enjoy :)

A great shot of Mwangi who insisted on posing on the training potty
Alix who had to greet me EVERY time he saw me.
Diana- a really sweet, quiet girl who usually speaks with her eyes
Daniel has an irresistible smile & speaks really good English. He wants to be a helicopter pilot.

LOVE the potty training one!

It’s so funny because Mwangi was sitting there for a while, and when he spotted me, he yelled “Me picture! Me picture!” I couldn’t resisit :)
Aw, love these shots, and I agree – the potty training one is just incredibly cute! Interested to read about your verdict on volunteering this time around!
