Mama Hope

Jambo!
This will be short, I'm on my way to the beach. Becca and I started work at the orphanage today. Its a little hut with a grass roof. The kids are very shy. Some of them have AIDS, it's really sad. One little boy with AIDS was really sick today, and has really bad jaundice (his eyes were bright yellow). I asked when the last time he saw a doctor was, and they said last week. I'll keep an eye on him, and if it gets worse, I'll make sure he goes back.

Mama Hope, the lady who runs the orphanage is a bit sketchy. The only time she can speak English is when she's asking for money. Most of the time we will be teaching. We are just here printing some worksheets for school tomorrow, and then headed for the 40 theives. The 40 theives is a beach bar. It's AMAZING! It's like little tiki huts right on the white sand beach with palm trees all around. It's the hang out for volunteers. There is another volutneer program, Camp Kenya, just down the road.
I'll write more later. I'm having lots of fun, and I'm still working on starting a needle exchange program!

BYE :)
