July 23/19: Day 3 - The Market & Living Kids Education Centre

7/23/2019

This morning was our morning to go shopping at the Masai market here in Nairobi! It was within Nairobi City itself so the adventure started with watching our excellent driver, Ken, negotiate through some of Nairobi's finest traffic jams! 
We had a great time as usual. We are becoming good at this bartering business, trying to pay less than the typical muzungu prices. Below are some of the fine artists at the market displaying their talents. 
We were fortunate to haver Esther and Ken help us with our selections and the pricing.

After the market we took a break for some lunch at the local Java House. Esther had to say good bye to us after that!
We then headed out to the Living Kids Educational Centre. Some of you may remember this school. We have not visited it for several years but, Kids for Kids secured funding for several years in a row to help them build the school. There are now 8 grades plus the pre-school levels in the building and over 350 students attending the school.  Last year was the first year they graduated grade 8's, there were 4 of them who all did well on their national exam and earned a place in a good secondary school.   The children put on a wonderful show for us that we enjoyed very much.
