Today, Monday, Mwololo met me for an extended meeting to go over important issues, budget stuff, staff and cultural problems, and dramas that occurred while I was in the states. At 1:00 pm we took off on the motor bike to visit two adult education classes. I was able to greet the students and tell them where I had come from and give them my regards. We then headed back to Athi River, sliding around in the mud in the rain. That is an experience I don’t often have in Kenya. It seems to never rain.
Later in the afternoon, Fred (my Masai friend) came to see me, traveling back from Kajiado. He and his brothers were bringing 50 cows a long distance from Kajiado to Athi River – since there has been some rain here and there is some grass. Kajiado is undergoing a cholera outbreak and some of his acquaintances have died.
Tomorrow we visit the preschool and see some of the Masai women. Wednesday we go to St. Timothy – a school we help in the slums. Everything is going well but for the visa issues and some concerns about my mom’s health. She is ok but undergoing some tests. More to come.
