Field Trip to the Nile River

We packed everyone into a bus, 43 of us in total, and took the children to the source of the Nile River. There are mighty rapids at the place where we visited. One little boy said the "boat" in the river was a "car". Many of the children had never seen a river and have never never been more than a few miles away from their home. They loved the bus ride, singing almost the entire 1 1/2 hour bus ride to the river. They got to see the Soceer stadium and the Coca Cola plant, which excited them. Teacher Zion had the children sit under a tree, facing the Nile River as she told them the story of baby Moses being place in a basket in the Nile. It made the story come alive!
