First, I am very sorry that we could not post while we were in Kenya. Much of the time we did not have access to Wi-Fi and when we did is was unreliable.
We had a different routing on this trip. Normally we pass through Amsterdam. On this trip it was Paris. Took us a bit longer but it was nice to see a new airport!
Outside of having sporadic internet service the trip was the best we have had in a long time. All the students attending university or mid-level colleges are doing well. One of our students received the highest scores, in the country, on his accounting exams last semester. Quite an achievement considering this student, under the Kenyan school system, would not have been able to attend high school. More proof our model is the way of the future!
The first few days of the trip were rough on Kelsey (senior from Bellingham High School). We landed on January 1st, in the evening, and left the next day for Ngomano. It was wonderful to see green landscape even though it was VERY hot!!
We had a wonderful visit with all of our "family" in Ngomano, bought kiondos, and agreed on a way to move forward with projects for the village. All very exciting! After staying in Wote for a couple of days we left for Nakuru.
Much is happening for us in Nakuru as Childcare decided to sell the building that housed our college. As a result we have been scrambling to find a new location. Not easy to do but we are praying to have a plan by the end of this month. Never a dull moment!
Much more to share tomorrow!
Thank you all for your support!
