How I live here - for English speaking people

The Location?

• we are in a fenced area, there are two brick buildings and a church is from a sheets of tin, children have a kitchen outside
• my room is small and not very nice, crawling spiders here, but I do not mind
• children have the same rooms

Food?

• I eat ugali, rice, beef, carrots and toast for a breakfast
• children eat only ugali with something, but they love it

How is here?

• 5 girls: Bilhah, Catarina, Mary, Jen and Malvis
• 9 boys: Peter, Jossuah, Clinton, Jared, Immanuel, Caunda, Daniel, Colins, Simon and David
• some children are still at a boarding school

Family?

• Micah and his wife Sarah, they have three children
• I live with them

What am I doing?

• a devotional before bedtime
• washing, helping in the kitchen, washed dishes, play with kids

The children are clever and know everything - they cook outside on the fire ugali, wash, carry water, clean - with discipline

My insights?They like to help, know how to thank and smile a lot, they are grateful!

My plans?

• paint rooms
• equipped kitchen
• buy a basketball set and a ball (done!)
• for Christmas - prepare a great celebration with gifts for children

How do I wash?

• basin and sponge

Toilet?

• hole in the ground:)

Disinfected water is disgusting:) I bought a sweet syrup. There is something like Tesco, and I can get anything. It is insanely cheap here!
With the children I play: ball games, we wove bracelets, guys were painting, play with a jumping rubber.

People in the town are friendly, smiling and waving. I have never met a white man in Kakamega yet!

I took my socks in vain, I have a few bites, but otherwise I'm healthy and manage everything fine!
