Jambo

October 7th, 2008 by Martine

Jambo Everyone I’m still alive!!!!!! And I’m in good shape!! I lost a few pounds :) I’m walking a lot!!!
The food is good here ! at first I tough it will be spice but no, The Chai tea is verry good. They put a lot of sugar in it just like I love it!!!! It’s have been a week now that I’m gone and I feel like I’m at home!!! I really like it here!!! In the medical clinic I saw a lot of young mother and we do the vaccination and the follow-up for baby. On Monday, I went to another medical clinic for picking-up vaccine. And we past by car into the slam. It break my heart to see how they are living! It’s a nice place but there are garbage every where!!! It’s like a “bidonville”. I saw a lot of children, and they are not use to see white people down there so they were saying how are you! how are you! how are you! I didn’t take picture because it’s to dangerous!!!!
Today I went to an orphanage!!! I gave the toy and the cloth to the children, at first they were shy but after a few minutes they came to me and play with me. They have some children how are abandoned by they families at the age of 8 months or more!!!! Some times they live with they mother and she’s to seek to take care her child so they end up there!!! The people who work there are very kind. You can feel that they are in good hand, but they don’t have enough money to buy food and cloth!!
I took some picture with kids, I meet Eugene a little boy, I think he was in love with me!!!! I’m gonna show you all the picture!!!!
Tomorrow I’m going to a place with Daniel a Kenyan who do home visiting and I will see a baby about 1 1/2 month who just lost his mother!!!
I have to go my Laundry now (hands washing) so see you in a while!!!!

Love you all
