Dear friends and family,
our last day in Kimilili is coming to an end! In 30 minutes we will be taking the bus back to Nairobi (12 hours drive, although we heart stories about busses beeing 4 hours delayed because they ran out of petrol 10 km before reaching the destination...)
The last days have been very emotional. It is hard to go, we made friends and met new "family members".
But we agreed to come back next Christmas to see how the progress is going and to further support CBSM with their goal to become sustainable.
When we arrived four weeks ago, we found a hut in the middle of a field. With your support, we managed to transform it in a proper school. We will write a final report within the next few day.
A few impressions from the last two days.
 |
| The biggest supermaket (the selection is huuuuuuuge!) |
 |
| A real African by now! |
 |
| The chicken is ready to cook... |
 |
| Afternoon sports activities with the children (with new toilets in background) |
 |
| Making jewelry, even the boys enjoyed it! |
 |
| Of course the girls where happy, too! |
 |
| Children dancing for us to say "see you soon". New classroom in the background |
 |
| We had to dance as well!!:) The kids honestly were much better! |
 |
| The "real" Katja and Bruno! Finally I found them! |
 |
| A real good tasting last dinner in Kimilili. (Even if it doesn`t look that good!:) |
 |
| We spent the night out at "our" club!:) Had a little headache today! |
 |
| We decided to sleep outside underneath thousands of stars! |
 |
| Kenyan hairwash style:) |
 |
| Our "goodbye" presents from the teachers! (The one in love with Alex!) :) |
Thank you for sharing those impressions...

@Alrik:
ReplyDelete"besides those who appeared meanwhile you were drunk?" ??????
I would say: besides those that appeared meanwhile looking at each other...
Two litte girls who in the last few weeks became two stars...
