Dear friends;
Margo & Kyle are flying back to the States today. They have been here for almost 3 weeks and it has been a wonderful visit. We did a four day safari; visited Tsavo East and West and also the Amboseli National Park that is right next to Mt. Kilimanjaro. If you remember, that is near where I did my initial training for Peace Corps. It was interesting to be back in that part of the country as the newly paved road into Loitokitok was a delight!!
Here are photos of our safari that hardly need any explanation!
The Kenyan schools are closed for the entire month of December. It has been a perfect time for me to have taken a vacation as the last 2 weeks of November are consumed with testing and I was unable to hold my regular classes. Later this month I will go to Nairobi for a workshop with a non-profit group I am doing some volunteer work with. The group, Kenya Education Fund, was started by a former PCV and is focused on finding American sponsors for youth wanting to attend secondary school here in Kenya. I have really enjoyed having the opportunity to travel around to schools near my site and meeting lots of dedicated students.
OK - that is it for now. Must go get ready to take Margo & Kyle to the airport. Look for another posting in late January.
LOVE FROM KENYA!!
Mary
