I MADE IT, MA!

I HAVE A LITTLE INTERNET NOW!

So I'm staying at the Nairobi State House for Girls while the students are on holiday with 19 other volunteers. It's been a lot of fun so far!

I got in on Sunday night at about 9:45 pm Kenyan time, getting to the actual property at about 11:00 pm. My bags were sent without me because of mean people at the airport and stupid flight arrangements but I got here safely! Unfortunately, I have NONE of my stuff... So I'm praying the bags will get here very soon... Anyways, here are some pictures!


My first meal in Kenya
