Greetings to all of you!
After a very long and dusty trip (10 hours) on a local bus I am back in Nairobi. First shower since I left Canada! How wonderful to feel the water on my body this morning and to be able to wash my hair.....
I will leave for Lamu tomorrow morning for about 4 days to meet with the Serodio Family who visited me in North Maragoli last week. I have been really busy with all the meetings and documents necessary to register the school since my arrival. the walls of the dorm are coming up as you read this e-mail and the children continue to warm my heart every time I see their smiling faces!! Nothing is easy and I did not expect it to be otherwise but the children are giving me courage and determination to continue.... I have some wonderful pictures and videos of them singing and dancing, can't wait for all of you to see them!
The weather has been good, it rained most nights but not nearly enough. The draught has already affected so many people close to the borders of Somalia, Ethiopia and Kenya. Unfortunately, I expect it will only get worse.
Everything is so much more expensive here this year. The price of certain food items has almost doubled but we are feeding our children very well regardless although the diet is quite plain the children have full bellies and of course "mama" Louise always has "sweets" in her pocket when she visits the school.
We have made beautiful models with the "beannie babies" that I brought from Canada. Thank you Miguel!! The children are in awe of the colours and shapes!
