Jambo rafikis! Habari yako? Hello friends! How are you?
As you may know, I have just returned from three weeks in the Maasai Mara of Kenya. My co-facilitator, Sally, and I led twenty-nine youth on a trip filled with school-building, community relationships, and leadership skills. Our "typical" day looked like this:
8:00 a.m. - Wake up
8:30 a.m. - Breakfast
9:00 a.m. - Buildsite
12:00 p.m. - Free time
1:00 p.m. - Lunch
2:30 p.m. - Leadership activities and/or games
6:30 p.m. - Dinner
7:30 p.m. - Leadership activities and/or games
Some days we visited other communities and Free The Children projects, which would switch up our daily routine a bit. Some highlights include: visiting Kisaruni and seeing Free The Children projects, conversations with Peter about the Maasai culture, and seeing youth transform over the course of three weeks. Some challenges include: not being as fluent in Swahili as I wanted to be, comments or conversations from people that were hard to comprehend, and not packing warm enough clothes (who would have thought Kenya would be cold?).
These next few entries will be filled with stories, pictures, and statistics from Kenya, specifically the community of Osenetoi. Enjoy :)
Cheers,
Bria
