update 26.01.2012



 New Years Eve!
Was probably the best NYE I've ever had! It was at Oliver and Milena's place. A fireplace, couches, bar, food, dance floor, around 50 people at the most and a DJ. It was SO much fun! I danced almost all night! As I knew, Anna was going to be there with her hostparents as well, but we also met a girl from Denmark, Nadia! We looked like Charlies Angels and we all had so much fun together! We came home around 6 in the morning. It was a good party for everybody!






13.01.2012 Signmark
Anna and I went to town, to Nakumatt Lifestyle to watch Signmark. The first and maybe only deaf rapper in the world, and he is from Finland. It was fun and interesting to see something different. Though Anna and I felt very different, because about 80% of the people watching were deaf!
















 16.01.2012 Mogra Rescue Center
Anna has some contact at a orphanage, where she is going to volunteer twice a week at the home and the school. The first time she went there, I followed her just to see. But suddenly I had said yes to help as well, but in the "raising money" and website department! Well well, I've been raising money a couple of times before, but website.... haha maybe they want a blog?
If you want to help, please do! They need money for the 96 children living there, the teachers teaching them, for FOOD, clothes and everything else. They were also talking about having sponsors. So if you want to sponsor a child i Kenya, contact me!
 


haha gotta love my double-chin <3










 20.01.2012 Ongata Rongai

Okey so I had to wake up EARLY Friday morning, to go to town with a matatu, find Anna, walk like 2 km to another bus-stage, and then take a new matatu. Well, we ended up in Ongata Rongai.
It's very different from what we see daily! It's a poor area and you rarely see a white person, a mzungu (and may I remind you it was Anna's first time there). So, the school Finken Education Center is located in the slum (the school which my previous school has contact to, and the same school that I, along other fellow studens collected money for). Because I had been there before and walked the same road many times, I (almost) remembered after nearly a years time! It was kind of a surprise when I walked in! It was lovely to see the same faces again! And even some new ones as well. We stayed and talked, had a look in the classes. We also said hello to the school next to, that is for small children. The kids even remembered my name. Now THAT is touching!







Everything else
Here's a short version of some the other days! 04.01.2012 - The mitumba with Anna. Later I went out with Nadia, Phillip, Anna and Zabih.
07.01.2012 - Out with Anna and Alex.
08.01.2012 - Sarah, Sasha, Kiri, Marley and I went to the UN pool the whole day.
10.01.2012 - Kiri and Marley started school.
18.01.2012 - Met Anna in town for lunch.
21.01.2012 - Went to the Rugby club. That was so fun!

And all the other days have been chilling at home, eating out, walking/running, being with the kids, birthday parties for the kids and yeah the usual!


I will try to update soon (I always say that), but really. It's not fun trying to remember and describe everything, for like 4 weeks!


So, lala salama my friends!

xoxo
