Wednesday brought two new volunteers: Mario and Elly from
Espana! I spent the morning in the school and then the afternoon running
errands and going to Nairobi with Luis and Alejandro to pick them up from the airport.
This week I have:
-learned SO many things about Maasai culture and the good
work Jambo Volunteers and partners are doing here in Maasailand
-seen giraffes, antelope, miniature deer, ferrets, baboons
and more!
-visited a traditional Maasai home
-learned a lot about permaculture and sustainability
-conquered my fear of lighting gas stoves with matches
-met many wonderful people
-eaten goat
-learned that things in Kenya happen poli poli and to slow
down
-handed out donations of clothes from my friends back home that
made so many children happy
-really returned to my Irish roots and have had potatoes at
nearly every meal
-felt dirty enough to relish a freezing cold shower
All in all, a great first week!
