Tonight goes down in the record book. What we thought would be a simple trip out to get ice cream, turned into a blessing far greater than what I could ever convey with words. Talibe boys fill the streets of Bamako at all hours. They are often sexually abused and go without food. But tonight we were able to purchase ice cream for nine of these precious little guys, and I don't know that I have ever seen, or experienced so much joy. After giving them their frozen scoops, us girls sat down to finish our own.. It only took seconds for us to decide that we did not want to be sitting inside, but would much rather go sit outside with all of our new friends. After doing so and spending a few moments the boys, it was time for us to get a taxi.. Which the boys all called for us themselves. They then proceeded to open our doors, and secure that we were all inside. I'll never forget the smiling faces, and the care that was shown to us in return. I'm so thankful for nights like these.. And I am truly learning to love this place.
