Last Day in Isinya
Today is our last day in Isinya. Tonight we are going into Nairobi and Aubree and I will stay at the safari place so tomorrow morning we can get up early and head towards Masai Mara to see some more animals, and hopefully some big cats since we will be safely in our vehicle.
This afternoon Pehninah's women's group is having another clinic for the orphans they assist. Since we have been here the number has risen from 75 to 95. THe children will have their weight checked, hearts, lungs and eyes checked, be given worming medication and vitamins and then provided with some food, blankets, and mosquito nets. The new children will also be provided with school uniforms and soap to wash them with. We will be going to help out and I will also be taking photographs to put on a website that I will make for the group when I get home. They have fundraisers through Paul's mother's church to raise money to support the orphans as well as the girls they save from being sold and send to school and the web site will be a way to communicate about those as well as about what the group is doing and who they are assisting. It should be interesting to go and see today.
After that we are going to make apple tarts (apples are very expensive and rare here) and serve them up and give people pictures that we took and show them video. We are doing this in lieu of sacraficing a fourth goat in our honor, and had to come up with something that is almost as exciting as meat. Since most people dont have cameras the only photos they get of themselves are when people like usgive them to them. Yesterday we had film and digital photos printed for this reason. THen its time to pack and head out....
