It was a day of work for most today... Darryl was recording choirs; Anne, Henry and Byron were fixing things at the GAR testing office; Clare and Jesse were teaching guitar; Krista, Stephanie, Natasha, Kari and Meghan were teaching at the Girl's Secondary School. Kim was hanging out at the recording site and worked with a few choirs on a song that will be collaborative.... all good, but certainly not as unique and new as yesterday...
We went to the Ewuaso Market... in the back of a small Toyota pick-up... in fact, on the way back, we had 18 people in the truck all together. The goal at the market was to meet the Peer Educators doing some AIDS awareness stuff and the GAR staff did HIV tests in the back of the truck. Quite an experience hanging out in the area where they were selling goats, or vegetables, or shoes or veggies. You'll have to see the pictures.
Anyway, we're off to Maasai Mara for a safari tomorrow, and then to Kisumu to meet the Kenyan Mennonite Church and learn about their Generations at Risk work. It has been very difficult to get the internet going, so communication has been/will be sparse... maybe we'll get some contact in Kisumu.
We're all well so far.
Thanks for the updates on your trip- it sounds like you guys are going to have some great stories to share when you get back! Hope the recording and teaching and visiting is going swimmingly.
