Day Four

Hello! :-)

Well, today has been very eventful. We started our day by waking up very early, we were all so tired as the night before we were entertained by masaii tribe. They performed to us by unusual dancing and singing, as well as jumping incredibly high.

Anyway, today was very exiting as there were many things we had to do! We started off by going around to all the classes to be welcomed by the children then we split into different groups, 2 groups were chosen to be taken to prepare the evening meal for the school. We walked quite far to get to the cooks house, and we all chipped in to help prepare the food. lauren went with the cook to order some fish from a local fishmonger. whilst the cook spoke to them in Swahili she watched them as they pounded the fish with a wooden bat, then slit the middle of the fish to remove any unwanted organs and then scraped off any unnecessary scales and then cooked the fish ready to be eaten. Afterwards whilst waiting for the cooking to be done, we decided to play outside with all of the children in the area. We played football, volleyball and shannon was entertaining children with hula hooping and tic tac toe!

We took the food back down to the school and we all had lunch. Later on we went to the nursery where we were all bonded with the children and helped them with their lessons. back at the hotel we had fun in the pool and now we are about to eat dinner.

    Hi everyone
    So glad to see all the smiling faces...everyone looks so happy (except Miss Heggs...Miss, no smile in any photo or just the ones uploaded?). Sounds like an amazing day in school and glad you are getting to see and hear some of the local culture - will you do the masaii dancing for us when you get back? Mr Jones excellent photography!! Looking forward to the next update!
    All the best Miss Darby

    Wow! Each day sounds fantastic! Not sure about the fish battering bit but giraffe's, beaches and the children look so great to be around. You guys must be having the time of your lives, a little exhausted maybe, but very fulfilled. Keep up the good work and updates (we can't wait to get to the computer each night!) Kaytlin had a really good birthday but we missed you Callum. We'll do it again when you get back. Love you, Mum, Dad & Kaytlin xxx

    Cheers!We all raised a glass for you at our monthly wine meeting.Keep up the good work.It looks amazing and you are doing such good work as well as having lots of fun.
    Jack H, Dr Rob says ' There's no such thing as a healthy tan'-you know what he means! Chris says to watch out for the Jigga worm and don't go out in bare feet EVER! He should know-he used to live there. If you need to visit a hospital, go to Nairobi not Mombassa as Lydie is working there at the mo-she's known as the 'Little Doctor' as she's so short!
    Make the most of this time and throw yourself into it-body and soul.
    We are all thinking of you lots and love the blog.Can't wait for the next installment...
    Lots of love
    Mum and Dad, Chris and Nancy, Andy and Hil, Rob and Eileen, and Beryl and Mike xxx
