The Lion King

On Sunday we had a special treat at Kili Kids Orphanage. We showed the kids there the movie The Lion King. For those of you who dont remember, not only does the Lion King take place with Mt. Kilimanjaro in the background, but there is a lot of Swahili throughout the movie, such as Simba (lion) Rafiki (friend) Hakuna Matata (no worries) Asante Sena (thanks).
Most of these kids had never seen a movie, so that was a treat to begin with, but to see a movie that takes place right in their own backyard with bits of their own language was such a neat experience for the kids! And all the volunteers
