Cura - Day 3 part 2

Hey Everybody!

I wanted to do another post that's more about simple random stuff going on at Cura.

Update on Minet. She is still very shy around me. Still picks on me though. When I walked into her class today, she hid her face under her sweater laughing. She makes it too easy to pick on her. I have been promised to receive my bracelet tomorrow. :)

Yesterday we all went for a walk and was making the other girls jealous by walking next to me. It's quite funny to see them tease each other!

I also wanted to post some photos of Cura so you have an idea of what the place looks like. I wish I could write a caption under each photo, but unfortunately, blogger will not let me. So I'll describe some of the photos in here.

Below you'll see a wooden plank building. That is their kitchen. All the "mamas" and older girls from the orphanage cook the food there. It's separate from other buildings in case there is a fire. They use wood, split by hand to cook with.

The building behind the blocks is where the library and computer room is located. It was designed to be two stories, but unfortunately, funding ran out and the stopped at one floor.

Inside the orphanage you'll notice it is square with blue steel doors. The building is double locked once the children are in bed in order to keep then safe from potential outside threats. Two walls are dedicated to boys and two walls are dedicated to girls. Minet gave me a grand tour (which I filmed) of all the rooms. I'll post the edit once it's finished.

On a side note. My friend, Gilbert has been teaching me Swahili.

Jambo - hello
Jambo sana - hello to you

Asante - thank you
Asante sana - thank you very much

Karibu - welcome (you're welcome)

And most importantly for me:

Unaelewa kiingereza - Do you hear (understand) English?

Very fun to learn!

I just wanted to share these thoughts with you. More to come tomorrow!
