Last Day – Last Words!

January 2nd, 2010 by Meagan Volmari

Well – it came round so quickly – I hate goodbyes. I got picked up by a Taxi – and had to peel to small boys off me as i got in. I’ve never seen so many tears, both from the children and me. My heart broke – when one of the older boys asked if i was leaving forever, and if we would ever meet again. He continued on to say everyone leaves, and when was he going too. I do wonder if how soon i can be able to come back. Cheryls has touched me unlike any other [...]

Last night my host told me we would leave at 9am – and me not being a Church goer said “to where”? and boy oh boy the look I got, hence i have now experienced my first Kenyan Church morning. Sigh, not only was it in Swahilli  – I had to get up and speak!!!! So not what I was planning on doing on a Sunday Morning
Anyhoo – life at the childrens home is amazing. There are 4 volunteers all [...]

First few days

December 1st, 2009 by Meagan Volmari

Jambo,
Just a quick entry as I am about to run out of time . I have been here for 4 days, and i’m loving everymoment. Although i do crave a shower with running water Oh and maybe a toilet hehe.

I’ve also watched the boys play their last soccer match for the year.. they WON!! and wow were they good. They don’t have age groups – just [...]
