3 solid days of rain now, hopefully today it will clear up so I can get into the village and have a look around, get some credit and post my blogs, the Swahili is slowly sinking in but just as I learn 1 word I forget another so tonight I'm gonna hammer it and hope i remember more I can string a sentence together about who I am and that I'm going to school to teach English but the rest are just random words lol.
Everybody laughs when I try and pronounce words cause they don't sound good with a northern accent.
I managed to get into the village today and went into 3 classes to introduce myself, it was moving when they all started singing a welcome song made me feel very happy and honoured a few kids just stared cause I'm presuming they haven't seen many mazungah's before, then went to a house to meet some locals and actually held a baby girl called Tia, her mother was very happy to leave her kid with a complete stranger and go into the next house. So tomorrow I start at 9 at the school teaching to read and write. The couple of days that I have had off have been very chilled out but sooooo gutted there has been no sun I'm gonna go back to the U.K the same colour :( so tomorrow afternoon if it's the slightest bit sunny I'm gonna butter my self up and baste on the beach :)
