Bananer til boernene paa Upendo Rescue Centre
Published: August 8th 2010Africa » Kenya » Nairobi Province » Nairobi
August 8th 2010
Hej allesammen. Jeg har en lille opfordring til jer allesammen... Det er utroligt svaert at finde folk hernede, som vil betale for bananer til boernene i skolen, saa vi er blevet enige om, at hver frivillig proever at finde sponsorer hjemmefra, da dette virker som en bedre og lettere loesning. I har derfor muligheden for at give boernene paa Upendo Rescue Centre bananer i en hel uge for kun ca. 200 danske kroner, saa vi snakker om 250 boern som kan faa en form for frokost i en skoleuge (dvs. mandag-fredag). Boernene er utrolige glade for den halve banan til frokost, hvilket umiddelbart ikke lyder af meget, men hvis man er vant til ikke at faa nogen form for frokost, saa er en halv banan en stor ting - ihvertfald et skridt paa vejen og jeg ... read more

Right where to begin....I have been here only four days and there is already so much to talk about!! Having arrived on thursday afternoon after travelling for around 24hours with changes and delays we finally got to the camp that we are staying at for the first 10 days. There are around 30 of us on the camp from England, Holland and Australia but everybody is really nice and already feels like we have known each other for ages. We were picked up from the airport in a safari style truck with no windows or doors all open...at first this was quite daunting but everybody we passed just stops whatever they are doing to say hello especially the children they love to chase the truck waving which is really sweet! When we got to the camp ... read more
Weekend i Nairobi med vand og paint ball

Hej allesammen. Jeg kom mig over sygdommen i fredags og er paa toppen igen :) Vi besluttede i lejligheden af tilbringe weekenden i Nairobi, hvor vi loerdag tog til Village Market, som er en form for forlystelsesomraade i udkanten af Nairobi. Det var som at traede ind i et lille europaeisk land i Kenya, da der pludselig var europaeiske butikker med tilsvarende priser og fyldt med mzunguer (hvide mennesker vel og maerke). Derudover var der et lille badeland med fire rutsjebaner, som vi slog os loes i - badeland kan man da aldrig sige nej til. Om aftenen tog vi afsked med Niko fra Tyskland, som var den foerste fra lejligheden til at tage hjem, saa det vil sige at vi blev ni. Pludselig kom man ogsaa selv til at taenke paa at tiden gaar hurtigt, ... read more

Hej allesammen. Tusind tak for jeres foedselsdagshilsner :) Jeg havde en rigtig dejlig dag med boernene i skolen og dem i lejligheden. Desvaerre blev jeg syg, da vi skulle ud og spise indisk mad :( Vi er to i lejligheden, der har ligget med feber og ondt i maven i to dage, men i dag er vi paa hoejkant igen - heldigvis :) Jeg har lagt lidt flere billeder ind paa de forskellige indlaeg, saa I maa lige se dem igennem, hvis I vil se billederne. I weeekenden bliver vi her i Nairobi, da vi skal lidt forskellige ting her, men det skriver jeg om senere. Naa, men jeg smutter igen - haaber I har det godt :) Kram fra Pernille. ... read more

A few observations in my recent trip to Rwanda and Nairobi: 1. You are supposed to have Yellow fever vaccination before entering these countries, but no one at immigration is bothered to check. 2. There is no loo on the airports after security check. So get in at the last minute. 3. Do not exchange currency at airports. You will get better rates in town. 4. Start negotiating, the moment you get down. They expect it. 5. Bike taxis in Rwanda are safe and cheap. Try atleast once in your trip. 6. If you are vegetarian, ask for Indian food. 7. The African women carry big fruits. Control yourself. 8. Shop for curios? Bargain hard - you may bring down the price from 3800 to 800 or less. 9. Rwanda is absolutely safe. Stay careful in ... read more
AIESEC dinner, Lake Nakuru, foedselsdag :)

Hej allesammen. Puha, dagene suser afsted hernede! Men lad mig starte med weekenden... I fredags tog vi til stort AIESEC fest paa 5-stjernet hotel her i Nairobi, da de havde 40aars foedselsdag. Det var noget af en stort kontrast til slumkvarteret, som jeg er i hver dag. Der var lagt roed loeber ud og der var daekket op, saa det mest af alt lignede et prom fra amerikansk ungdomsfilm. Der var mad i lange baner og et kaempe kagebord med alverdens kager og frugt. Det var helt i top, men igen en maerkelig foelelse at sidde og proppe sig med mad, naar man omgaas sultne boern. Tidlig loerdag morgen (her snakker vi kl. 6, saa vi fik kun et par timers soevn efter festen) tog vi alle fra lejligheden til Lake Nakuru, som er en national ... read more

So we spent the night at the MC house. It was there that I got to have something that I have missed for over a month, a warm shower! It was so nice. I spent time to scrub every part of my body. It wasn't the hottest shower ever but it was better than cold. That day we followed some of the AIESEC Kenya interns to their projects in the slums. Before going they warned us that we should wear shoes and not sandals because of all of the mud. We all took this comment lightly considering from what we had seen Kampala is way muddier/dustier (depending how much it rains) and just overall more dirty than Nairobi. We headed out in the morning which was chillier than we were used to. We took the matatu ... read more

Hello friends and relations, It's Friday again and I'm back at the computer in Nairobi. We returned to Gathanji on Monday morning, still basking in Spain's glory, nailbiter, though it was. For those of you who might be interested in looking for our location on Google Earth, we're staying in a village called Gathanji which is between Kiambu and Githinguri outside of Nairobi. We've come to call our residence there "The Pink Palace" owing to the bubble gum pink colored walls. Must have been a sale on pink? Or perhaps just someone's favorite color. At first it was a bit jarring but now we're accustomed to it. We spent Monday and Tuesday back in the nursery and primary school attached to the orphanage. We had asked the teachers what they needed from Nairobi and they reluctantly ... read more

Hej allesammen. Saa har jeg lagt flere billeder ind paa min blog, saa tjek de tog tidligere indlaeg :) I aften er der stor fest med alle AIESEC'er, hvilket satte lidt panik i os piger, da man skal have fint toej paa og ingen af os havde festtoej med, saa vi var paa markedet i toej og koebe ind. Saa nu har jeg second hand festtoej til i aften - det skal nok blive godt. I morgen tidlig tager os fra lejligheden til Lake Nakuru, hvor vi forhaabentlig skal se naesehorn og flamingoer, men det skriver jeg mere om senere, for jeg har en smule travlt lige nu, da jeg forsoeger at faa fat i en vandtank til skolen.
