Today started out at DEPOT (The Dan Eldon Place of Tomorrow) with the Honey Care Bee Keepers program. Many of the bee hive managers showed up to discuss achievements and improvements for the future. Very fun day! The Rotary group in Stroud, England came to Kenya to start this program. The first Honey Bee Keeper program began in Cura and has expanded to many communities! Just one example of how the help in Cura and the surrounding communities is growing and making the communities self sustaining!
This afternoon on the way to Cura, I stopped by the local sporting store and picked up a soccer ball for the kids. It's nearly dark and they're still playing! I attempted to fix the soccer goal, but unfortunately it was broken off in the ground. William, the project lead on the new school building is going to try and place a metal frame, cemented for the children to play with.
Ending the day, I had dinner with Minet, Naomi, Simon, and many others (I feel bad I haven't learned their names :( ). Ugali and a spinach family vegetable. They had many questions for me about America, how many brothers and sisters I have, when I'm coming back, etc. The day ended with many hugs and a goodbye wave from the windows. What a wonderful day!
Tomorrow is the big day for the community of Cura!! Ground breaking on the new school. Watch for photos of the event. :)
Ps- below are photos from DEPOT team building activities, the children playing with the football I got them, Gilbert, Minet, and Simon, and dinner shenanigans!!! :-D
I don't want to leave :(
