Donning their school sports uniform and ready for a few exercises – though the two toddlers on the far left seem to have their own agenda!  It’s the chilly time of the year in East Africa, so many kids (or their Moms) add caps to their sports kit.  As in many East African schools, a few at this school wear another type of head covering – a hijab, a head scarf worn by female followers of Islam and the focus of Olympic news this week.  For special nudges to prayer as Ramadan 2012 approaches the mid-point, go to the photo gallery, “London Olympics 2012: God and the games” – http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/london-olympics-2012-god-and-the-games/2012/07/27/gJQAjhgoEX_gallery.html#photo=1
