Canadians

Well the last few weeks have been busy once again.  I team from Guelph was here.  It was so good to spend time with some Canadians.  Since they were “our people” we did a lot of hosting.  They were here to do some construction at the school.  There was also a teacher in the group who came and helped during my library time over lunch.  The kids loved it.  Then team would also come after school to spend time with the kids.  There was a few from the team that played chess so the high school kids were excited to have some time to play with them.  When the team was in the library it got really full and crazy.  I forgot I was the white person as all the attention was on the new white people.  It was interesting.  When they left there was a lot of sad faces.

I have also made two trips to Nairobi in the last two weeks.  The first trip was to spend time with a couple that I have met since being here.  The second trip was to go and take the team back to the airport which was fun to do.  We had supper with them were I enjoyed a wonderful hamburger and a taste of a T-bone steak.  I do and will miss BBQing this year.  I also went to purchase Microsoft Office for my computer since I have not had it since it fell when I first came.  Now I have it and it makes life a lot easier.

The library continues to go well.  The kids only have until Aug. 5^th before school will be done for this term.  So there time in the library is coming to a close soon.  Next Friday they will start there end term exams and then will all go home on the 5^th.  Then I will clean up the library.

The weather here continues to be cooler.  The rains have come which is good because the crops really need them.  With the rain comes cooler weather.  A fire in the evening is defiantly needed.  You also know when it is cooler in the house is when margarine in hard.  But as they say here the rain means full bellies.  So let the rain come.
