Just got back from a much needed get away, the other volunteers, a few of the YGC Boys, and myself took a boat ride to a beautiful island about an hour from Mbita. We stayed at an old deserted resort in little bungalows, and played on the beach all day. By night we sat around the fire and told stories of night runners and beliefs about the beginnings of the Masai tribe. It was nice to get away for a night, away from business, politics, and the hardships we are seeing in these communities. But you all know me I am excited to be back, we have another session with each school this week, and will be spending our morning once again trekking through the country side going home to home learning about the needs of this community. In the schools we are setting up Peer Educator programs, where we do some intensive education to a group of students that desire to learn about their health, and then they will be equipped to go and teach their peers. My goal is to set them up with other schools, so they can do exchange programs and teach each other through song, dance, skits, and theater! This week we will focus on Malaria, wish us luck! (Malaria is the number one killer of children under five in Kenya).
Keep the comments and emails coming I really do miss everyone and love hearing what everyone is doing!
