Hello everyone,
Things are going very well! I am already homesick but making lots of friends. Day one of Orientation was fun much like a classroom setting. Learned many things about the culture and language and getting around, etc. After we went to a eat lunch at a chinese place and got to sit in this huge tent with about 20 other new volunteers. Was very much worth it and fun! After we went back to our temp. housing. Our house mom is amazing, her name is Charity and she is the sweetest and happiest person i have ever met! We sat around and got to know eachother for a while had dinner (which was green peas and noodles and this yummy bread that they eat with almost every meal). THen after such a long day went to bed. Today has been long and exhausting but very fun. FIrst we were picked up and went to a animal orphange. I got to pet and take pictures with a baby cheetah! It was amazing! Then after we came back into uptown Nairobi and got to go to this huge market to get fresh water and a cell phone. ( mom and dad i will be calling soon). Thun my first real kenyan lunch. I hate baked chicken and this stuff that looked like mashed potatoes but was not! It was flour and water! YUMMMY....JK!! Now we are back to the Siona House which is where our Vicda Leaders are and I just booked my first safari with them! Next weekend for 3 days! WIll be very fun. Also tomorrow i am going to Lake Nakuru for a one day walking safari! Apparently there are Pink Flamingos everywhere there!
All in all things are going very very well. I miss home however and Zack very very much!!! Its weird what we take for advantage in the States. Showering has been the most interesting adventure i stand in a bathtub and poor water out of bottle!! its great!
Anyway I miss everyone and please feel free to email. But i only get email about once a week probably!
