We all had another eventful week. Our advisor Janet was here and she visited all of our schools. She was very glad to see how well we adapted to the Kenyan lifestyle. On Monday we all spent time at Katie and Lydia’s school, Ndunyu Secondary. It was games day, it was so neat to see how they set up track and field day with what resources they had. We saw some very talented future athletes. After visiting each other’s school, we have seen first hand the wonderful work Farmers Helping Farmers has done in this area .We are so proud to be associated with such an amazing organization. We’ve been busy helping to prepare our students for their exams. It’s much different than Canada, but we’re trying to adjust. We’re busy trying to collect the letters for the twinned schools on PEI. Our schools close next week and everything is quickly coming to an end so we want to make sure the letters are completed before we go. We headed off on our safari on Friday. What a wonderful weekend. We had an amazing experience at the Samburu tribal village and had incredible experiences with the wildlife in the park. We were lucky enough to see a few lions. We headed back to our home away from home on Sunday night. This week we’ve all been supervising exams at our schools. It’s very interesting to see the difference in the examination processes. We’re not looking forward to saying good bye to our schools next week as we’ve developed some very strong relationships with our students and the staff.
Signing off until next week... Katie, Lydia, Amy, Nicole, Erin and Lisa
