It has been several days now that we are here in Kenya and finally found a internet cafe to keep you posted.

After a 40hr. trip, we finally arrive in Vihiga near Kisumu. Their welcome was most generously. Yesterday there was a ceremony given by the school because it was graduation day for grade 8 and they welcomed their visitors with dances and songs. Everyone treated us as kings and queens. After we got some time to get to know the children it was just a wonderful time, playing and talking to them. They look healthy, but their clothes are old and torned and their shoes are too big. But they are very smart cookies! They took me by surprise as they know a lot about Holland already. Today we have given the kids the goodies people have donated for them. The soccer balls are given the most brightest colors as kids where able to paint them. They loved it!  The books are in the library and my grandma's blankets are taken with lot's of gratefulness. Priscilla is most thankful to my Grandma regarding the blankets that she has made for them. She sends her lots of love and would like to thank her for doing this for them. She loves her picture I gave to her. We are in  a little village where the internet cafe is and already there are three children around me playing with my hair and asking what I am doing. I have no idea of what they're saying as they speak their native language Swahili, but they are having lots of fun with it.
