Well the volunteer programs finished, it’s all official, and the party begins.
We’re all off to safari tomorrow, first lake nakuru to see the flamingo’s and rhinos, then off to the masai mara to see lions, girraffes, wilderbeast and all the rest!
Sorry for not updating these past 3 weeks, I’ve been busy as all hell working, and you’ve missed out on a lot. For the past while we’ve been working in a place called Mutumbu, alternatively called ‘The White House’ not because of it’s colour, but because of it’s occupants. Out first project was reflooring school rooms that had become mangled through overuse, a rather grueling task but we also did work in the communities in places such as rangala baby home or agunjah community centre. I for one helped teach computer classes, was good fun, wasn’t too hard as it was an area i knew about. Our last project was building a cow shed and supplying it with a pregnant cow for a school, only made do-able due to all the donations we were given. A special thanks to everyone who donated money and items and made it all possible.
It’s been good here in Africa made a few friends, seen some new places, learnt more about myself and others. Good life experience all up. In school I always learnt how to manipulate numbers and words, i learnt science and maths. It was academic intelligence. Here in Africa I’ve learnt about people and life, the way things work outside the schooling systems, street smarts as some call it.
It is true, i do miss home, it’s taken three months but i’m finally just a little homesick I may not travel for my extra month round kenya and tanzania, we’ll see how God works my flights.
Till I hit the net again
peace out
