Not too sure where i left off before, and i've been so busy i can't quite remeber what i've been doing. But i have made sure i've kept a journal this time so i can look back on everything.
still haven't quite got into a routine of working. But i think i klnow where i'm going to spend most of my time, in both pisitis which is an orphanage with a priamry and secondary school attatched. I'm going to go there today to talk to the head to see if i can teach a few lessons of p.e. and art a week, and to see if i can paint a mural on the side of their buidling. I'm also thinking of trying to find some way of fixing the orphans beds because the bottom wire of most of the beds is coming off and they have a load of new mattresses which theyre not allowed to have on their beds untill their fixed, im not to sur if they just need welding back on or if theres new wire needed, i haven't looked that much depth into it yet.
And the other orphange is st anns which is all full of young kids, the oldest being 5 the youngest being 5 months. Charlotte already had had some ideas of what to do there and we've helped her paint fruit on the walls of their dining room and were thinking of painting flowers in the girls bedroom and twinkle twinkle on the wall of the boys bedroom with the left over paint. And hopefully charlotte will be getting them a goat and i hopefully get to go along to a farm auction.
I also went to kinangob, the home of karangas parents. Karanaga is the representative out here for changing worlds and is also my kenya dad, im staying at his house. So yeah a very rural place and really high up, we were freezing and many of us came away with colds. We watched a sheep being killed, skinned and gutted. Gareth volunteered to kill it, but just ended up cutting its troat a little and the sheeps looked at us like what are you doig? untill karanga finished it off properly. And from this i discovered that the inside of a sheeps sotmach, rather furry looking looked exactly like matumbo which i tried which turned out to be goats stomach. And is not recommended, well by me anyway gareth and iwan love it, but they are both welsh (something which karanga constantly takes the poiss out of them for). We also went for a walk in the forest and saw a few monkeys and some amazing roads built by ants which were fasinating.
And thats briefly it for a while, although i'm sure theres loads i've missed out!
