Pole Sana (very sorry) that I have not updated in like a week! We have been on vacation/safari and have not been in town to access the internet!
Let me give a short recap, I don't have much time but I will try to post again tomorrrow!
Friday of last week I went to the orphanage in the afternoon, and helped to prepare their dinner. Ugali is this chunky tasteless food that they eat with cabbage, and it was my job to make it. Basically you pour corn flour into water and stir it. I will post pictures of that when I can!
Saturday I woke up early and went to "Sunday School" at the orphanage. Yes, I realize the name is misleading. It is for all of the children in the town or Mara Moja, and they feed them lunch so basically 100 children show up. It was pretty incredible. Then we played some games and they sang for me, I have pictures of that as well!
Sunday I hiked to the top up the hill next to Daraja. By myself! It was amazing, you could see for miles! I did a lot of spiritual reading up there, you have no idea how hard it is not to feel some sort of presence here in Africa.
Monday we went on Safari! We went to a place called Solio, it is like a national park. I saw rhino, cape buffalo, giraffe, monkeys, wart hogs, all sorts of antelope, and other things I can't remember the names of! It was incredible to see these animals hanging out together, just chillin.
Tuesday we went horse back riding to the Mau Mau caves. We had a dwarf guide, but that is a whole other story. Even though no one besides me had ever been on a horse, the guide decided we should gallop most of the way. Needless to say there was a lot of cursing and screaming going on. And now none of us can walk without wincing at the pain.
Wednesday we went to ilpole, a small town outside of here. I gotta run so I will pick up here next times!
LOVE TO ALL!
Maggie-I just finished reading your last couple of posts and checked out the pictures. What an amazing gift that you're giving to these children. And from what I get, they are also giving you amazing gifts!
