The journey to Amina's was moving. The houses were made from wooden frames coated in mud, some were concrete. We had to carry the food back but usually Amina has to carry two or three bags back herself!
When we got back to the academy we had lunch said our goodbyes to Amina and walked to the Sagail nursery. At the school we painted one of the classrooms and took lessons, which was surprisingly difficult. Jamie's group had to do the second layer of paint which i got covered in. We spent some time with the children there. Laura and Callum are great with kids.

Hi Jack, it's lovely to hear from you-glad you are having a fab time and it's great to see photos of you. Stewie loves your room-I think he can still smell you so is reluctant to leave!
ReplyDeleteRahi-I'm so sorry for you sharing with him-what more can I say. I believe trench foot takes a while to set in so I'm sure you're ok for now...
Mr G-apologies to you too-maybe you drew the short straw afterall!Good luck for the rest of the trip!
Have another great day tomorrow. We all really love seeing the photos and hearing all your news
Lots of love

Evening all. Sounds like you've all had another very rewarding day. Are the school dinners in Kenya better than those at Brocko? I hope Jack T isn't trying to teach the kids english, considering today he text that he had helped to "paint there roomes" !!! And I hope you all taught the Masai tribesman Englands' national dance, the hokey cokey. Good to see you in one of the photos Jack, even though it was the back of you :-) Keep up the good work, love Mum & Dad xx
ReplyDeleteHey boob, like the photos. Mum's getting soppy about how grown up you look(but I still think you look about 5!). Gina wants a giraffe and I want a huge, enormous, expensive, shiny, gorgeous, fantabulous present (pleeeze)

Hi. Glad to hear your good with the kids Laura. It must be difficult for the little ones living in basic conditions. It makes us appreciate what we have. They have to carry food and water for many miles sometimes. I've seen the pictures of you all painting the classroom. Good on you all :) Love Shaun xxx
