Ok, so I must write quick. Out here in Bogani (where we are staying) there is only power in the tents for about 4 hours per day and it’s usually during dinner. I just figured out that this will be the only time that I will be able to communicate with you and post pictures and such.
So much has happened over the last few days it’s been incredible. I’ll try to sum it up.
So as of last night we were in Nairobi and I posted right before dinner. In a relatively funny story, the place we were staying I was told by our morning breakfast server that the lady who lived beside me was crazy. She had many cats and dogs and basically lived at the hotel. At the time I didn’t think anything of it. Unfortunately when I returned, the door between our rooms was open… a bit afraid I went into her place but there was no answer… so I closed the door. Luckily nothing happened and nothing came of it, but a bit of an adventure when you are half way around the world. Just a bit troublesome when someone apparently has access to your room!
In today’s adventures we awoke and went in a 12 seater plane and flew in to the Masai Mara. It was a bit turbulent but nothing crazy… just left my stomach in a few places. Got here safe and took a walk to our cottages which are absolutely amazine! I will attach a few pictures of the tent that I am staying in. I had no idea that a tent could have so much to it. I didn’t take any pictures today… didn’t have the time.
The highlight of the day was heading to a school that Free the Children has completed most of their work in. We got to see what the community’s old school looked like (before FTC) and what the new school looks like…. the difference is night and day. We heard from members of the village, schools, teachers and the employees of Free The Children but the biggest joy came from a father who spoke about the differences the new school has made in the community and their children’s lives. It was amazing to hear. He was so heartfelt and thankful about the work we aer doing and the difference we have made so far. We then got a tour and got to play games with the children and see some of their traditional games.
I have to say the experience was amazing and everyone is so happy to be able to go to school. The children loved being able to go… something I know I wasn`t happy about as a child.
Then it was back down the rough roads back to camp for dinner. I will try to attach as many pictures as possible to give you an idea.
I will attempt to post every day! Cheers.
Please check to see the pictures attached to the last few posts as well.
