A week in Kenya

---

My previous blog submit turned into posted in a hurry due to the fact a worm the period of my middle finger flew thru the window carelessly, leaving Alice shivering like a little toddler on the couch even as Erick, the 4-yr-antique at Sure 24, eagerly chased the worm and tried to hit it with several pencils. I become afraid it would devour its way through the paper or sting me thru the paper, but I subsequently controlled to capture it in a jar and included it with a bit of paper!



It seems that the day past, a 12-year-old boy killed one and captured it in a tissue (reputedly reappearing in big quantities).

The purpose for the put off in blogging is because I do not have much or costly net get admission to; however, due to the fact my final publish, we've got;



A hilarious eight a.M. At the cow shed: the first cow went smoothly, and the second cow MILK EVERYWHERE! I squirted some calf, for positive, and Alice got a few on her shoes.



We made an attempt to create japattis, that are the tastiest food right here; they flavor like pancakes, if most effective we had a few sugar and lemon. However, we had to depart the kitchen right now because one of the girls turned into afraid that Alice and I could burn ourselves, get oil in our eyes, or fall into the range.

But none people had been hurt—we every made one! I'll just ought to wait until the men are building them once more unsupervised by adults—they're so much amusing!

We have also been gaining knowledge of how to play the drums. Yesterday, I noticed Daniel, one of the older lads who usually attends boarding faculty or sixth form, pass one foot, and Simon, who is amazingly professional at drumming for a 12-year-old, play my palms! We have weeks to get this down pat, and we are able to!



Yesterday, I spent properly over an hour dancing with some of the older boys. I added them to reggae dance, whilst they showed me the ropes thru pirouettes, waving, and footwork! Since they may be not able to physically bend their toes to move on their feet, pirouettes are the greatest!



On Saturday, among the lads gave a performance at the global college inside the location. The boys commenced some thing similar to a skills evening. Thank you to all the dad and mom who have persevered your dull assemblies up to now! Observing the men made me nearly don't forget suicide the 0.33 time we had to take a seat thru "horrific day" by using Daniel Pouter!



But the lads were exceptional, and it turned into tough to movie them on the grounds that Erick turned into sound asleep on my lap! Additionally, our experience home become entertaining because we needed to soar start the automobile! Especially making it out of the room with none energy or headlights!

I've been crying for an awesome portion of these days over one of the boy's stories that he wrote for Rain Edge UK, the United Kingdom charity this is behind this. The concept of leaving is virtually getting to me because you just grow to be a part of their own family and community.



I was told final night time that Dennis could be my boy pleasant friend going ahead, and Lucy would be my lady first-rate friend (Dennis is one of the guys here and he is truly top notch!). Very lovely!



As for the internet, PAYG, and I need to look at Kenyan trains—this is a whole new one for me! They function greater frequently than now not in keeping with a each day agenda.
