This week was another amazing week. We spent monday to friday at Itini primary school trying to get the job done. We've managed to get most of it done it's just the final layer of concrete that needs doing. Another group will be building the outside cover for the toilet but we will be just completing the long drop and the space for the urinal. It has been very hot work in the boiling sun and a few people were grumpy but the general atmosphere is great and we are all still getting along really well.

The children are back at school now and they are all loving to get involved and help out. When they aren't helping out they will just stand there and watch us get on with the work. Their favourite job to do is shovelling dirt or sand, often overdoing it and starting to dig parts that have nothing to do with us! It took us a few days to learn the word for stop!

In the evenings we are still learning kiswahili, and on friday we were given our swahili names by Ibrahim. Mine is Mwakio which means 'night'. Some other people's names were amusing as Tom's means biter. After our swahili lessons and amazing food cooked by joffery we would all usually sit on top of a boulder and watch the stars and see about 5 shooting stars every night! It's just so so beautiful here, such a pituresk place to be for a month!

On the saturday we went to the tumaini woman's group again and had another talk from Mama Masei and I'm still so so amased by her and what she has done. She was at church in the morning so we helped the group's secretary out with some more harvesting of maise and some more cow peas. In the afternoon we all got to make our own bracelets or neclaces out of the beads and pendants they have there. Most of the people decided to get kakoi trousers to wear in the evenings but I don't think I would have space in my suitcase for anything else! Everyone looks very good in them and Kay Kay (one of the guards who offered to sell me his gun (I couldn't tell if he was serious or not)) says the boys look like part of a South African boy band!

This next week will be my final full week here and i'm realising how much I'm going to miss all of them. I've got to know them all so well and I really want to keep in touch with them and meet up them and see them at their unis or jobs! I've had one of the most amazing times of my life with them and I feel so so privaliged to have spent so much time with them and to count them as my frieds.

I hope that everyone at home is having an amazing time with whatever they are doing. I miss lots of people at home even though I'm having such an amazing time! Now I'm begginging to think more about what Luke and I will be doing and how it will all plan out!!
