Children's reactions vary depending on age and whether or not they have seen a Muzungo (white person) before. The young kids may have never seen a white person and they are very interested in touching my skin and feeling my hair. Older students have had experiences with white people and tend to be a bit more subdued. I have been showing some of the older students hand shakes, and "fist bumps," they seem to really like that. All the kids love it when I dance with them, as dancing and singing is a common occurence everywhere we go. These kids have very little, and I can assure that the smiles in the photos are for real. They are happy to see us and experience something new.
