Heading to Nairobi

In a few minutes we're heading to Nairobi to attend a Kenyan church with our friend, Dunstone. From there, we'll go to the Serare School to see Rachel. Many of you will remember Rachel from last year - she's a wonderful lady and friend... a high school principal and former university professor who works in Kibera slum with teen girls and adults with HIV. We stay in touch through email all year, so I'm very excited to see her. Her school has guest quarters where we'll be staying tonight and tomorrow night. We'll return to Brackenhurst on Tuesday night. Our plans with Rachel include visiting her relatives in Maaisailand and seeing her projects in Kibera.

We had a great day yesterday (Saturday) at the LCC visiting with the moms, playing with the kids, and finishing up the painting project. Very interesting to paint a room in Kenya, as I learned first hand yesterday. The paint is very different than what we have and the brushes are terrible. Even with the lack of good supplies, the team did an amazing job of painting the two mom's rooms in the girls dormitory. And Kimberly is adding some beautiful artwork on the walls.

The kids are doing so well. It's neat (and a little sad) to see all of the kids growing up. Many are very tall and gangly now. Their English is getting better as they have more years of schooling.

That's all the news for now... hope to have some great stories from our Nairobi side trip...
