Finally we have found ourselves at an internet cafe and hopefully I can write a slightly more descriptive entry. Although there is internet access at Didi's place, there has only been one computer from which we can log on and she pays for her internet by minute, so I've been trying to keep things short and sweet. Maybe I'll even get to upload some pics while I'm here.

Today we went to an orphanage about an hour's drive outside of Nairobi. There were 9 of us in total (our group and some students from Abha college), and we were faced with treating 100 kids!

Our landing in Kenya was one of the most beautiful scenes I'd ever seen. The sun was rising, giving off an orange, red, purple hue [View Full Entry]

Entry from Irene: Welcome to our Kenya blog! Here we will do our best to update you all about our volunteer project as often as possible. It all depends on the availability of the internet wherever we are, of course. We're taking off in one day! I'm mostly packed up, just have a few more things to take care of before I'm ready to go. I almost can't believe this day has come-- the five of us have spent the past few months hard at work with planning, researching, fundraising, and preparing for this trip. We've had a lot of help [View Full Entry]
