Because my internet was bad while in Kenya, I was unable to upload any blog entries. To share my experiences, the blog entries from this trip are the emails I sent home to my parents and siblings while away. [View Full Entry]

Hey fam-- Just wanted to check in and let you know that I am in great hands. Barbara and Calvin are both taking such good care of me. I haven't had to do a thing for myself since I was in Minneapolis. They have this all down. Everything has been paid for from meals and hotels and such. I asked Barb about what I owe and she said that Mark gave him some money to cover my expenses. I'll ask him as well before he leaves since he has paid for my meals, visa, hotel, flight to Kisumu, and such. He [View Full Entry]

Hey family! Sorry I didn’t get an update to you yesterday. I thought I was really tired but then I tried to go to sleep and I just laid there, again. Every night when I go to sleep my head is just wide awake. Last night I was trying to think of ways I can get kids in the US to want to help kids in Africa. Had me up for hours. Then by the time I decided that lying in bed was doing no good, Steve was already asleep and I didn’t want to wake him while I pounded at [View Full Entry]

Dear Family, This will probably come out extremely long, but I want to give a full update. Barbara and I left the farm really early Thursday morning. We drove in the dark to the airport and then flew from Kisumu to Nairobi. Once there, we went straight to Feed the Children. Feed the Children is an international organization headed out of Oklahoma. Calvin knows the founder, Larry Jones, personally and wanted Barbara to go and learn about the day to day operations such as costs and also schedules and activities for the kids who are there. There are a few branches [View Full Entry]

Hey fam, I keep promising an update, then I am too tired to write one out. Now, I am finally sitting down at the computer to let you know how things are going. Since I have been back at the farm, I have been very happy and excited to have a schedule of activities. On Wednesday, I met with Chris in the early afternoon and planned a tentative list of things I will be doing during my visit. The list is meant to give me hands on experience getting to know the people who live around here. Also, I am trying [View Full Entry]

Waterston family members: It’s hard to get an hour free around here to sit down and write out an update. I like emailing you guys because I use it as my journal, and I want everything recorded. But the days are busy, the nights have been filled with good conversations over dinner and since the mornings come quick, I try to sleep at a decent time so that I have energy for the busy days! But, when I have a hard time waking up, I think of how the women across the street have to wake up at 4AM to walk [View Full Entry]

Hey all, Haven't had time to sit down and update. I'll have to make a final journal entry type thing on my plane ride back. I'm so sad to think of leaving here since I have met such amazing people, both Kenyans and the fellow non-Kenyans who work here at Dominion. I've seen a really different side of life and I don't think I'll ever be quite the same. But the change is only good, because I am so grateful for all I have and the opportunities I have been given. The one reason I am excited to come back is [View Full Entry]

Dear Friends and Family— As of tomorrow, I’m heading to Kenya for three weeks. I’d love for you all to be included on my trip! I will write my first real blog entry on the airplane tomorrow and then try to write down a few thoughts at the end of every day. My internet won’t be perfect, but I will try to post something when it’s possible. I am really looking forward to seeing such a different part of the world and the way people live there. I am so fortunate to have my Aunt Barbara, who has been going to [View Full Entry]
