Jambo everyone!<br><br>Sadly, Den and I are starting to pack up and leave Lenana for our next adventure: our Oasis overland tour down to Cape Town. Although we are majorly excited for our 2 month safari, we are sad to leave this place we have called home for the past month. We have, therefore, been trying to spend as much time as possible up at the LSO office with Kilonzi and the kids before we have to say goodbye. <br><br> Tuesday afternoon, once we got back from Junction, we headed ...

... pretending to play "Amish". lol<br><br> Today was our second time at BJC Academy, where I taught my Class 5's again. I taught Enlgish and Social once again too. They are wicked kids. They wanted me to teach them French, so I taught them the basics. Then we just did competition games which they like, and they wanted to do PE, but it is waayyyy too muddy outside for that (it poured rain last night)! Maybe next week I told them. <br><br> After ...

... Before going in on the Tanzanian side Gabe and I attempted to go to the post office with our package (a beautiful carved chair we had bought that we had wrapped with extra clothes we no longer wanted to carry with us). Joe and Hilda had previously offered to take the package home with them, and mail it to us, when we all found out the post office Heini told us to wait for was closed and we learned we weren&#8217;t going to any other post ...

... slum about 15 minutes outside of Nairobi. We met our host Margaret, who is a very friendly woman and is also a pastor in the community. We also met her house help Maggie and her son Carlos, who is quite possibly one of the cutest kids I have met. <br><br> We got settled into our room, and met Kilanzi, our program director at the Lenana Slum Orphans. He took us to this mall called the Nakumatt ...

... http://www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/a sp/fostering.asp<br><br>TIP: Have the chance to get up close and personal with Rothschild Giraffe at the AFEW Giraffe Centre. You will not only learn about them but you will be able to feed them (even given them a hug or a kiss depending on who (giraffe-wise) is visiting on the day). These giraffe are in a breeding programme helping increase numbers of Rothschilds in ...

... 2 because I came to Africa then and I thought I had one before but I really can't remember. Or 9 years because it says in my medical record that I had it then. The lady went to get the record-keeping guy before the shot and she came back saying that it was closing time for them. Luckily right then the guy came back to the office even though it was closed. He saw me and knew what was up. The lady gave me the shot and I went back to the record keeping ...

... in to the ground floor reception and they had room so we went up 2 floors and it was good , clean , had power and water and ensuite rooms so we took it so grateful that we dived in and showered. Oh happy days- luke warm water never felt so good. After a shower we headed out to some tour companies and sussed out what was on offer. We were after an overland trip if we could find one to South Africa. That proved elusive and we were offered many tours in Kenya taking in the ...

... with some number maybe half as much or less, and then they say another number until you get fed up and walk away, and then they come running after you, saying "ok, ok, you break me but I'll take ___". Everyone knows that you're going to meet in the middle, but you have to go through the process anyways, and I think it's enjoyable, and exhausting, for both parties. I wanted one of everything, and I think that if Em had more money, she would have ...

... power keeps going on and off. So if you don&#8217;t hear from me for a while, that&#8217;s probably why.<br><br>We were back at the Makina clinic in Kibera today for baby immunizations, and we&#8217;re going to the Cana clinic in Mukuru tomorrow for their immunization day. We&#8217;re going to be able to give injections with our eyes closed pretty soon! As usual, our time here has flown by &#8211; one week from now we&#8217;ll be on the last leg of our flight home!

Ok so we arrived late in the evening in the capital city called Nairobi nicknamed "Nairobbery." I was so relieved to find out there was a television in my room so I did the math and found out the 1st NBA finals game would be on at 5am in Nairobi, I soon found out they only received two channels therefore unable to watch the much anticipated matchup between the Lakers and Magic. I was sad to find out ...
