Friday, July 15
Today was super eventful. We woke up and had a delicious breakfast of omelets and mango juice and then headed off to the school where we would work for about two hours on the girls dorm which was beginning to take shape. We then met up with our buddies for breakfast which was this sweet corn mush which almost all of us finished. After returning to the lodge for lunch, we went to our student’s classes, Massay has English class which turned out to be kind of a review day for the 10 other students who surrounded him as he lectured me on everything from circuits, to accounting. The teacher didn’t show up the entire class and Massay informed me that this was common and the students would just use these days to prepare for their exams. We then went to religion class which both amazing and dull. Amazing because the singing was phenomenal and dull because everything, and I mean everything (the 2 hour sermon) was in Swahilli. But we all had fun anyways. We checked back in with the workers and helped them clean up, headed back to the lodge and relaxed until dinner time, and we all fell asleep quickly and soundly.

Well, well ...and I was under the assumption food would be limited and very close to local cuisine; it seems someone has close connections to the Cook, way to maneuver.
Glad to hear the Girls' Dorm has some solid progress now, pictures please!
Religion, accounting and circuits...the studies never stop, eh? Keep the posts coming; the video was a true pleasure to see all of you in action.
