Day 87:
Today most of the orphans are now back in school . With everyone back, only a few are here now during the day until lunch, when the young ones walk back from school. I woke up , did some schooling , and then walked outside to the orphanage. Mom and I had to get some things so we walked down to the village . Once we finished up there we headed back and by then most of the kids were back. We played with them for a bit, but then went back to the house to cook up dinner and clean up. By supper time we had Dickson come to our house with a bunch of the kids. And we were wondering why.. Hmmm! Turns out they had been stealing Mangos from our own land, the neighbors and some of the villagers. We made sure they were dealt with and had to make them apologize to the people. Turns out some of the villagers are now cutting holes in our fence and stealing mangos too , just to sell. OH YAY :D after the discipline was done, we decided it was time to turn in and head for our rooms and soon bed.
Day 86:
We had a nice Holiday break with the family, but it's now back to reality in Taita ! We like Nairobi.. But I think I would prefer being in the "Boonies" as we call it back home or "The middle of no where." It's a small place, but I love it! Even if I can't wear Jeans, I can't wear shorts, tank tops, everyone knows everyone else's news, people just walk in your home... etc . The kids are just amazing. They crave love.. someone to pay attention to them and PLAY with them. (Parents here don't really take so much time.. some but not all) So most of the day consumed of gardening, schooling, and playing with the kids :) Since the students are now back to the school they greeted us and everyone, but all is back to the usual.
