Hello all!
well, today is officially our last day in Nyeri, tomorrow morning we head off to Nairobi, and from there we leave for our four day safari in Masai Mara !!!
It was a bit sad saying goodbye to all our kids, but luckily we went armed with gifts and so they were all smiles :)
We've really enjoyed our time here and the other canadians we've met have brought us to some of the places they volunteer at like Kenwa and NuLife. Kenwa is a place where women with aids live among one another to offer support to each other and to men and women from the surrounding areas who are also dealing with aids, we got to sit in for part of a group therapy session. NuLife is an orphanage for babies only, and they were so adorable! The organization is really well run and the kids are quite possibly the happiest babies in Africa. I was paired with one named Randal who was born prematurely and as a result was very small, on several medications, and had difficulties suckling... That being said, however, yours truly managed to get him to finish his first whole bottle ever! I got so attached within a span of a couple hours - and I thought volunteering at the animal shelter bad for wanting to take one home! Hopefully when we get to Uganda it will be easier to post pictures and I can post one of him, he's adorable.
Alright, well I'm off to pack my bags... the next time I post I'll be in Uganda, which should be quite different from kenya as we've heard it is about 10 degrees hotter on average than where we are now, and is even less financially stable.
Kwaherini Kenya!

Hi Julia,
I've got the atlas out here, following your travels. Hope your safari was successful; no doubt more interesting than the Magnetic Hill Game Farm! (is that still around?)
Your trip sounds like it could be emotionally draining, as well as exciting and adventurous, so a safari would be a fun change, for you.
Take care, love, Kathryn
