Travel Update!

Just a quick one - in the process of writing a last few days blog, its been quite busy moving round so not much time to write!
But yeh, successfully made it to the airport! Bag checked in, queuing for security now :)
Feeling surprisingly chill, think I'm too tired to feel any more feelings! Lydia hooked me up with a daughter of a friend that's on the same flight as me, chillin with her and her friends, all good!

See you in the otherside ...the end of my trip is in sight!

Last Days in Kenya

Saturday 27th October My time here is coming to a close, I’ve definitely had an unforgettable experience and through all the ups and downs I’m so glad I took myself (very far!) out of my comfort zone and came to this amazing place - what a month it has been! Yesterday was my last day at Dada’s, I felt very emotional walking out of that gate, tears were shed. I’m gonna miss those kids, they’ve truly inspired me and I hope I helped them too. Saying goodbye was really hard, especially to all the little friends I’d made - I’ve gotten close to them over the month I’ve been here! To the mamas that work there too - older ladies that welcomed me into their family. The head Mama is an absolute legend, she’s very spiritual and just great to be around; she doesn’t have the best English, she wanted me to teach her, but you ask her how she is and pauses and goes, “my mind is good, my soul is good, my body...is good. The Great Benevolence is good today”. She’s great. She called me “my daugh...

Another Friend Leaves

Saturday 20th October  Time is a fickle friend - feels like Jen has been here forever and for no time at all and all of a sudden, she's in the car on the way to the airport. I'm gonna miss her a whole lot!  As for Friday, I had frustrating end to a frustrating week! Had a good hour at the start of the day with my class 6 maths group, working through some questions with them and things... and that's about it! The other classes were either doing an exam or Kiswahili so I was of no use, so me and Felix chilled together in the staffroom and he was challenging me to work out maths problems from the textbook - i think he was surprised by my maths skills! (I was too!) Whilst it was a bit of fun, it's not quite what I want to be doing with my time whilst I'm here! I was then invited into a meeting with the staff, class 8 and their parents to discuss what they're doing for their exams, and again whilst I appreciated being included, I a) didn't know an...

Night Out in Kenya

Image
Wednesday 3rd October If there's one thing I'm learning about the Kenyan way of life, it's that they do everything in their own time! No rush, just do whatever, it'll be fiiiiiiiine - it's slightly infuriating for a stresshead like me but it is funny, and something I need to get better at so I'm trying to embrace it!  For example, we were going to go out to the karaoke together just down the road - but by 10pm the Kenyans were only just back from their Wednesday prayer they go to together and we had all sort of lost enthusiasm for the idea! Also the others had made plans to go to Nairobi instead so that one went out the window. When they got back though we spent a few hours in the bar behind the house, playing pool, darts, cards, loud music and of course, they started hitting the alcohol! It was good fun -I wasn't having anything, no way, if I'm going out somewhere I don't know with people I don't really know properly yet, I do not want to...
