We can't believe that our flight back home is tomorrow! The time has flown by and none of us are ready to leave yet. Leaving the people will be very hard because we have formed a bond with many. The staff at Oloolua are all so wonderful! Ruth, Isaac, William, Judy, Batman, Hassan and many more of the people who were a part of the past two weeks will never be forgotten. I am already looking forward to travelling around Africa to help the orphanages and visit the b...

Today was a quiet, but full day. Early this morning Jette, Dad and I went to the high school opposite the resort. The first week we were here, we had promised that we would return during our holiday. The school has 15 children in total, because they only started last year. All the kids gathered in one classroom to listen to our story. We told them about Australia and brought our iPad so we could show them pictures of Kangaroos and Koalas, which they had never see...

We attended one today along with the Imani orphanage children. It was indeed extremely different. We left for Nairobi CBD this morning. There are two Imani centres in this area,...

There is so much happiness in Kenya. So much joy, laughter and kindness! Whether you speak the same language or not, Africans find a way to make you smile. This morning a man approached us and spent about 10 minutes just rambling on in Swahili and we just nodded and smiled. It was so funny! He went on and on, without response on our behalf, until we said we had to go. He understood a bit of English and said that it was lovely to meet us. There are so many people ...
