We are leaving Nairobi today (9-7) for Johannesburg, and then after a 10 day safari we go to Cape Town until the 22nd. Juni (Gustavo) asked me how is Kenya?
Kenya is just like your mom's farm. The soil is red, lots of farms, hills, people waking all the time going to and from school, market, work, and other places. Kids in uniforms going to school going up and down many hills to get to school. The small villages are just like the Caribbean, a little Jamaica, Saint Kitts, Nevis, Dominica, etc. People walk all the time, no shorts, no topless, no MTV style here in Kenya. Nairobi is a mixture of the city of Miami and any other big city in the US, only with a lot and lots of black folk. No burger king, or KFC, Mickey D, or Starbucks. You see some Indian or Arab person, and a handful of white tourists.I wanted to express my thanks to those who helped support this mission thru your donations and prayers. We spent four days at the schools in Nairobi. It was a great experience. The school children were very excited about the items they received. They even modeled the dress. The school selected the neediest children for the dresses since we did not have enough for everyone. The boys got toothpaste and brushes, and the girls got the dresses and bracelets. I took pictures so I can show everyone when we return. The books and supplies got delayed by DHL and did not arrive by the time we were at the school. But Al & purchased some text books, work books and other small supplies and distributed the items. These items were right on point according the school administrators.The boxes should arrive in Nairobi tomorrow. So everyone should have the items donates. Once again, thanks. See you soon. Love Sobie
