The First Day...

We have had a lovely day visiting Nanyuki Prep School. Though it is school holidays, the children still come in as there is a feeding program in place. They are fed lunch - usually Ugali (maize) and milk, although this may be the only meal they could recieve for the whole day.

During the day we did a number of activities with the children including a huge skipping race, however an amusing moment occured when one child took hold of the skipping rope handles and threw the rope behind to get ready to skip and accidently hooked another child pulling them together as she began to skip. Fortunately we managed to stop any real harm from forming, and spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing in the heat reading and chatting. We also paid a visit to the orphanage - they all remembered me from last year!

It had been a hot day but suddenly dark clouds began to gather so we quickly left as we were in an open-aired truck. Luckily enough we just made it back in time before the storm reached us....
