7/18/2017

We started the day with a bit of a run around the neighbourhood. We were fortunate enough to have a Kenyan run with us! She kept us from getting lost around the streets of Nairobi.
After that we were ready to hit the Masai market! We were blessed with the company of our Kenyan sister, Esther along with Anthony who keeps us safe on the streets of Nairobi. We had a fantastic time bartering with the locals and looking at all the talent that they possess. We picked up some really cool items- stay tuned!!
After that we had a lunch at, wait for it, KFC! Yes, we travel two days by plane and hit a KFC for lunch.

After lunch we headed back to Tumiani for more fun with the kids. Above is Esther, (our Kenyan sister), the head teacher (Terah Anaya), Polly (our sponsorship contact and good friend) and Rachael.
We managed to disrupt the school again and it was awesome.
We learned about David and Goliath from a younger class in the library and had a very good interaction with the grade 8 students. We spent an hour answering questions that they had about English and various other topics. They are very bright students and are studying hard for their upcoming KCPE exams (the national exam they must write in order to finish grade 8 and gain acceptance into secondary school).
We then caused havoc in the baby class by giving them all candy- and then sending them home! 
​
After Tumaini school we visited The Living Word Church at its new location in Mathare. The building is coming along nicely and they have plans to put in a medical centre on the ground floor as well as some businesses run by local parishioners and parents of Tumaini school. This will help this area of Mathare considerably.
After a long but fun day, we returned to the lovely home we are fortunate to stay in for the time we are in Nairobi. The gardens are beautiful.
