Today was the first full day of placement at the orphanage. The kids are alright, kind of cute, but very calm and quiet. During the day they are in school, and we are supposed to teach. I suck at teaching. The teachers suck at teaching worse than me though. After lunch they just kind of left (I'd like to point out that they are the ones that get paid while we run the school, literally). So, I gave up and we played football (soccer lol) and did puzzles all day. The only subject I can sort of teach is math because there is little English required. They all speak English, but it's their second language. I think next week I will work at the rehab center for teen boys, or at a hospital. I'm still having lots of fun. We met some British army boys at the beach. We're going back again tonight for margaritas.
This weekend will be fun! We are going out friday night for margaritas. Saturday we are going to explore Mombasa, and then to Fort Jesus and then to the elephant santuary. Sunday we are going snorkelling, swimming with dolphins, and to see these caves on an island.
I almost forgot to tell you how much of a spectical we are. I have been pet 3 times, and I had one little girl stop and stare with such awe that I couldn't help laughing. A lot of little boys try and tell you they are Barrack Obama's cousin, and one guy asked me if I was a celebrity lmao.
I'll try and put pictures on facebook next week sometime, after snorkelling and what not.
LOVE
