Day 1 and 2

We made it!!! ....such a long journey to get here....our bodies were numb from traveling so long on those huge airplanes with no room to breathe in your seat let alone eat without elbowing the people on each side of us....very few of us got any sleep on the way here...so needless to say but I will we were completely exhausted last night after 27 hours. Our beds felt wonderful!!!!

Our first day was fabulous....getting set for our projects tomorrow...8 hour time difference....its 9 pm here....and 1 there? ....we went to see giraffes today....and shopping for projects stuff after we sorted all of our donations....what a task that was...so many great pics...will post later!!! Our Leader Lois was overwhelmed by our donations of money and supplies no group that has come through has ever brought as much as we did....Thank again.

The giraffe experience was fun ....giraffes will kiss you if you feed them and head butt you out of the way if you do not.

For those with inquiring minds that know my eating habits....lol...I am surviving....actually the food that we are eating here at the University is delicious.

We met many women today that will be future leaders here in Africa...They consider themselves very blessed and our giving back for their opportunities given here at the African International University. It became chartered last Friday and the Kenya President and Vice president visited here to acknowledge the accomplishment. One of the women who spoke today said something touching....with regards to women becoming the future leaders here...."It's women who hear the children cry".

Off to bed...busy day tomorrow....wait til you hear what we are up to next........
