Holiday Celebrations in Kenya
Dear Friends;
Hope you all had nice holidays with your families. I had a terrific time with my Kenyan family, the Mwangata's. In a way, not much happens but school is not in session for the entire month and families do take time to be together. Here on the coast, the highlight of both Christmas Day and New Year's Day is to go down to the beach and watch the children play in their new clothes. I mean, there are so many little girls in long fancy dresses rolling around in the surf and sand. Here are pictures to enjoy: top photo is of the Mwangata family in their Mammoth Mtn. T-shirts. Next to that is a shot of Margo and I - she visited in late November. The rest are all from New Year's Day - and yes, that is me with the Mwangata girls.
School has started again and I am busy with my life skills classes. Yes, what a joke that is - ME teaching Life Skills. I promise I only teach the appropriate skills! Happy New Year from Kenya!!
