Yo! Hello again :)
I am intergrating into the life of the child home..
everymorning after waking up..there would be some kind of exercise..it's either washing clothes with very limited water, going to the river nearby to fetch water, walking up to the little village to get charcol or supplies...
afterwards we would usually go to the primary school to volunteer...we either do some marking or teach a class. We would go into a class and tell them what is china and canada using the most simple english..those little kids are really excited to see foreigners...they call us "mzenguis' foreigners in kiswihili and i love to see their reaction when i tell them china has lots of resources and we like to eat different kind of food such as snakes and frogs...they will grasp and gimme a really scared look..
late in the afternoon i will sometime discuss with the canadian what on earth are we doing here and our plan for the home and trying to figure the situation or we will go to the library with the little kids to play lego or draw...when the older ones are coming back we will chat with them and see how their day was like...
at night after dinner it would be reading, chatting and sleeping..On sunday we go to church though the serve is in kikuyu and i dun really understand what the pastor is saying.
life is simple here and it's like paying attention to every single task u do everyday and appreciating the fact that there is life. .
people here are generally nice thou i am still trying to know them more in depth...they have a special prespectives towards foreigner ..they generally think we are rich and depend quite a lot of foreigners and sometimes i doubt their intention..but i am staying openminded ( haha) and will see more before judging..afterall it's not good to judge ..
i am also trying to plan what to do in africa. my current plan is to stay in the home and do as much as we can till august and in august i might travel around kenya or participate in some AIESEC events..but still dunnno yet and hopefully it will be settled sooon.
i will try to update once every week :)
