Week 2 - Sister Freda's
This week started with going to a Christian Church service that was held in a room at the college at Sister Freda's. Mostly in attendance were the high school girls as it is mandatory for them and then a few college students. The orphans wandered in and out as they saw fit.

Not so good when one of the 2 cows on ...
Kenya!
From Sipi Falls I first caught a shared taxi up to Kapchorwa, from there a minibus to the border in Suam. After crossing the border to Kenya, I got on a matatu (that's how the minibuses in Kenya are called) which took me to Kitale.
Kitale is a small and friendly market town that is depending on ...
