Hello! I just got internet here in Kenya. I'm currently in the Great Rift Valley in Kenya. You should Google some pictures, its the most beautiful place I've ever seen. I have shuttled between three homestays but have finally found our final one. We are with the most generous and nicest people I have met. There are three other girls with me at this homestay. I work in a school that is a short Mutatu (sort of like a taxi/bus) ride away. Our second homestay involved cows being on our bedroom and no electricity and no english. Allison fell in cow poop.
Anyways, there is no running water here and a house with electricity is hard to find. Thankfull, our homestay has it.
We are happy and full of delicious food. The food here is great. The kids are a bit overwhelming as they tend to see white visitors as simply providing free money and other things. The word for white person is Mazungu (mah-zoon-goo) and that gets shouted at us anywhere we go.
I don't mean to make Kenya sound bad. It is the best place I've ever been. The students, who have nothing at all, love to learn. Their enthusiasm and eagerness is humbling. I wish USA students could be like that.
I'm already have a great time and it's just getting better. We go on Safari this Friday morning for three days and two nights. I'll update more soon!
