Today started well although was gutted i missed the sun rise! we eat well with eggs on toast for breakfast however i feel that was to lull the newbys into a false sense of security! After an introduction to the teaching side of the project we take a 20 min bike ride to the school, its 20 mins of pure unadulterated hell! Pain is not the word, very hard bike seats and very rocky roads not a good combination! Also combined with the heat was not an enjoyable experience!

The school is very basic with no table and chairs, all of the english learning students are in the same room, there are 5 levels from no knowlegde of english in either reading/writing or speaking to almost fluent. The kids take tests every 9 weeks to potentially move up the groups, majority of the students are in group 2 of which it is split into 2a and 2b. I am assigned to 2b. The students are all very well behaved! A lot of the students have travelled very far to come, one student i spoke to had travelled from arusha in Tanzania which is far into the mainland. This is really the only quality education on offer and has built up a very good reputation!

Time to remember those adjectives and verbs!! We stay at this school for an hours class every day and then head off to a local nursery, there are 3 in the region and we are all spread out again another bike ride! This class is the complete opposite to the first school, there is about 30 kids to a group ages around 6 but probably around the mental age of english 4 year olds if not younger. They climb all over you and demand attention all of the hour we are there! Very hectic!

Its then back to the volunteer accom for lunch, biking again! This time its cheese sandwhiches and chips... finally they are on my wavelength! After lucnh we have free time until 3:30 so a few of us head to the hotel not far away to use their pool, they let us as long as we buy a drink in the bar. The same goes for the WIFI however my phone has taken a dislike to the wifi and will not pick it up. We have a dip in the pool overlooking the pool, seriously this place is paradise! Im really beginning to wish i was staying for longer than a week!!

On the way to the hotel we met some Masai people, who are honestly the coolest people i have met, they sold us some bracelet things and i used my bartering skills however was wary that im here bartering with a man who has attached to him the biggest knife i had ever seen!! Really do not want to say the wrong thing, later i find out he is in my class at the school!!

In the evening we run a kids club, where we literally just go into the village and play games with the kids and i felt really bad as there was this kid who was trying to pump up a football, the ball had a whole in it but he didnt understand my trying to tell him it was never going to work but to give him his due he kept trying and trying!!

The afternoon was much the same as yesterday , evening is spent around the camp followed by an evening walk along the beach with the other volunteers, literally not laughed so much in a long time! Trying to avoid the sand crabs or Ninja crabs as i like to refer to them, they just pop up from under the sand and basically chase you down the beach!! The images it creates im sure is hilarious however with parts of the beach having exposed coral on it, it can be quite sharp!

Thats the lot for today more of the same tomorrow apart from we are eating at a locals hours tomorrow evening!! Not entirely looking forward to that!
