JAMBO RAFIKI! Habari?
Soo Ive got lots to catch you up on!!
The kids at KKV are having an end of school closing day programme so we went to help make invites with all of them all thanks to all your money donations which helped buy quite alot of the materials and ofcourse all your donations too.. soo photo will follow! next up!…The other day we went to the Market to buy gifts and things and it was such fun!! i laughed soo much i walked past this one stall and a man called me in to look at his stall and i said no sorry just looking.. and he replied..”akuna matata” i looked straight at ian who heard too and immediatly said “What a wonderful phrase” which set us off in giggles… very good times.I officially love haggaling its great fun and i dont think im too bad at it either! and i’ve know learn’t the word Muzungo (probably not spelt right) which means White person which i got shouted at alot to buy stuff. it was such a good day and had a good talk with a guy about the school system of kenya and how he hasn’t been able to do high school yet and he was in his twenties which was a bit crazy. but yeah it was good. we went to help out cleaning the church and getting it ready for the next day..and let me just say… if anyone.. and i mean ANYONE complains about cleaning and setting up the church again i would fly you over to clean and set up this church myself… it was crazy we were there for hours sweeping and mopping the floor with a towel.. it was fun though we were setting up thousands of chairs and we kind of turned it into a game so we had a right laugh my muscles are hurting now though by carrying so many chairs and they would have two services! and to make it doubly Gob smacking there was a church everyfew mins! so lots of churches and they still manage to get two services filled to the brim with people! the sunday service was… in one word.. CRAZY. everyone was dancing.. People had cotton wool in their ears and it was still loud for them! they were shouting praises dancing it was so crazy and so passionate anddd MENTAL. but crazy mental for Jesus which was awesome! Today was very very Interesting.. we went with the Mumma’s to the fruit and veg market and i dont think i’ve ever been stared at so much in my life i got given lots of free banana’s and got proposed to three times… one person asked me to take them home and make me a wife. another said he would give many cows to love me, and a rather old man asked if i was married and then his friend asked if i would be his wife.. while he stared and smiled offering me a seat next to him. i was with a mumma called janet and she translated all what they said, they were very complimentry and was asking janet why she was stealing me away from them i laughed alot.. it was such fun and felt very… Kenyan and like we were getting into their culture! Also I’ve decided that im going to sieve through my clothes when i get back… which my mum will be pleased to hear! and give it all to oxfam, Janet was telling me half of the things the people on the clothes stalls were selling were from oxfam and was majorly cheap but was clothing people and giving them money to buy food and things themselves. which is cool. aswell today we just has Keswahili classes with Janet some things are sinking in.. was funny we ended up just shouting the word yes in swahili over and over again.. which sounded slightly weird…such a good day 
Thank you for all your bits and bobs and support you have given they definatly enjoyed it!
Anywayyy KWAHERI everyonee!
anyway..we got through visa and baggage and we met Tray who we noticed straight away as he was jumping and waving at us and Lydia is the sturns (family who owns the orphanage incase you didnt know) daughter who picked us up and drove us to KKV… we arrived and were welcomed by everyone.. EVERYONE is sooooo Lovely its crazy how at home im feeling already and its only been three ish days .. all the children are awesome and really funny.. within the first fifteen mins they had taken our jewellery and our hats and glasses and were dancing around singing bon jovi.. :) after meeting and greetings we went to our rooms and had a small nap to try and catch up on the sleep we missed then went over to watch the children practice their musical skit which they are doing for there end of school closing day. A young girl called Fatima.. i think thats how its spelt called me over to play football so we had a kick about for a little bit just before lunch which we had with the sturns. we stayed until after tea where we sang and worshipped and after that we popped to faith house where all the children live and visited houses c+d where we got completely ambushed by children.. which was lovely.. and i slightly got to grips with a few more names. one child told me her testimony shes called Eve and she was saying about how both her parents died and she had to love with a bad mother who used to cut her and beat her.. until one day they went out and she ran along way to their neighbour and she kept her at her home and she was just saying how greatful she is to God because he saved her from the bad people..that kind of blew my mind that,that much can happen to a child so young and yet she is so happy and so over it because of the love God has for her.. made me so thankful for my life and for her life now that it is over also they are so skilled they were sitting making rugs and jewellery and HOPEFULLY they will be showing me.. so you never know you may be all getting rugs for christmas
