The Village

On Wednesday after the 'normal' delays, we caught a Matatu towards Kitui to go back to the village.
We ended up going out there with our new friend George who is in charge of the sustainability of the village. We left town around 3:30 and got to the nearest town to the village around 6:30 where we waited for a ride. This gave us time to have a warm beer (the preference to many Kenyans) while we waited.


Our friend Don, 77, arrived in the morning on the back of a Motorcycle taxi that delivered him from the overnight bus from Mombassa.





All day the Grandmothers weave baskets, which they sell. (part of the big picture to become self sustaining)

Jennifer, Jen, from Austrailia, and Maria, from Spain, hang out after the dedication.

We had interviews all day. This one with Nicholas.

Susan never stops. She also organized the donation of a couple boxes of clothes to the kids.













During all hours of the day the crops must be guarded to prevent monkeys and baboons from stealing the produce. One of them uses this bow and arrow.

It was a very interesting ride back. We picked up a Matatu from this town. A goat hopped out when we were hopping in. We then changed into a bus in the next big town. Luckily we did not have 75 chickens strapped to the top like many busses. Although, I was in the back row which at times was like a bucking bronco.

It is such a small world
