Today we went on a morning run, and gained a couple of running buddies. For the first part of our run, we ran down and back up the steep hill to the shamba. It was like doing suicide hill times three, plus high altitude. To add on a bit more, we ran down the road, and as we were about to turn back, we spotted a group of kids in the distance. They started yelling to us, and at first we thought it was the kids from the Malia Children’s Home walking to church. We stopped and waited for them to catch up to us, but as they got closer, we realized it was just a random group of kids. Since we were all going the same direction, we all started running together. Not the kind of running group that we ever expected to have, but a fun experience just the same.
love it!!
ReplyDeleteHi I hope this isn't really creepy but I came across your blog while google image searching Machakos. I want to move to Nairobi/ (Machakos if possible) for the next year or so and was wondering if you could recommend an organization that would place me as a teacher/ aid worker in the area. I don't have enough money to be working entirely as a volunteer! Feel free to completely ignore this but it would be really great to talk briefly to someone who's doing exactly what I want to be. Maybe I can pass along my email? Thank you sooo much! At the very least I'll keep reading.
ReplyDeletewow, that's great! machakos is one of the most beautiful and safest areas in kenya. feel free to email us at abbyandshira@yahoo.com, or pass along your email here if you feel comfortable doing that. talk to you soon!
ReplyDeleteHey Shira,
ReplyDeleteWhat an adventure you're on! Love reading the blog entries, learning about where you are and who you're connecting with. Life up here is good. I did a performance in Miami this week - my daughter came (whew, was that a challenge, having her in the audience.)
Keep goin' with the flow!
Love Ya,
Donna
