While around their stockades this morning Orwa decided to enjoy a dustbath which drew the attention of Ngasha and Barsilinga who climbed on him while he lay down. Their fun and games came to a halt when Teleki joined in prompting Orwa to get up and engage him in a pushing game.

It was a very cold morning which meant that Ajabu had two blankets on to keep her warm. As the cold weather prevailed none of the orphans partook of the mudbath enjoying a dustbath instead. Orwa and Teleki engaged in strength testing games as they each tried to remain at the top of the dustbath before Murera intervened separating the two.

The orphans were in a playful mood as they left the stockade compound this morning. Once out in the field they ran around bush bashing and bumping into one another. Kihari, Sonje, Orwa, Ishaq-B, Murera, Teleki, Naipoki and Narok continuing long after the others had stopped to browse. Kwale’s who continues to recover is kept company by Laragai and Tundani who love his gentle nature.

Today was Garzi’s third day out with the orphans and he has settled in well with Tundani and Kwale being his closest friends although Orwa, Teleki and the other boys try to bully him as he is a newcomer to the group and they think they can take advantage of that.
