Time here is Africa is running out, but today was an awesome day. Our first stop was Mutuini Primary School. There were 920 students at this school. The children were very good. They stood on their lines for 30 minutes while we did our presentations. Below one of our team members is doing an object lesson using student volunteers.

Below is a picture of all 920 kids, from youngest to oldest. The girls were on the right and the boys were on the left.
This particular school had a nursery school and we went there afterwards. They sang a song with actions for us and then we handed out "sweets". They thought that was the best part.
The headmaster of the school is the gentlemen in the picture. We had some time to kill after the school visit do our driver "Sammy", who is the Gateway International Kenya Director, took us on a tour. We visited the school he went to when he was a child. And below is his church. That is him in the picture.
The next three are pictures at the hotel of the team getting ready to go out in the morning.




I wanted to show you some pictures at the hotel. This is the main gate which is guarded 24 hours.

Here are some of the beautiful gardens.
Oops, another gate you have to go through to get to your room. You need you key to go through.
More gardens.This is one of the four restaurants at the hotel. Three of them are outside.

Finally, last night we got to meet a lady who had been in prison for 7 years. She had gotten involved with a drug cartel by accident. She needed money. She ended up going to Washington and testifying against them. She has written a book and last night she gave each one of us a signed copy. That's her on the left.


We're off to another day!
