Sidai FINALLY has power again! It's crazy how long things take here. You can't just make a phone call and have someone come out and fix your service. It takes several trips to Kenya Power, gathering various docs, etc. The good thing is that it is finally back on. No more nights sitting around the kerosene lamp. Well...the power did go off again last night. However, it was the entire neighborhood and only lasted about 20 min.
The school term is almost over. I only have to teach this week and then the kids have exams next week. They are then on break for a month. Teaching got a lot better. The hardest part is trying to explain things to the kids in English when English is their 2nd or even 3rd language. I'm not sure how well I've done, but hopefully the kids I've been teaching are at least a little better off! If nothing else, I know the kids' English has improved, which is great.
My weekend was good. Friday was sad b/c we dropped Rachel off at the airport. I miss her already! I went to Nyeri on Saturday morning to visit a couple of other volunteers. We didn't do much - mainly hung out, chatted, etc. It was nice to get away for a little bit and see them though. I had planned to stay in Nyeri until this morning, but I missed the kids so decided to come back yesterday.
Hope everyone had a great weekend!
