We had a tricky timeframe to work with this month since the KCP exams (the 8th grade exams that determine the children's high school possibilities, and often-their future) happened the first week were here. Then all the kids got a week off. We had to squeeze a lot of school visits into one week once the students came back, and before the holiday break. Yikes. Good thing these ladies are troopers. Especially since one school required a 40 min hike up a mountain with pads on our backs :)

Tate and I have really enjoyed our last week here. My mom sent the kids a bunch of their favorite toy-matchbox cars. Tate and I painted a barabara (roadway) on an old cement slab by the house, and the kids have been loving it. We added a few extra features, like a parking lot and a petrol station for refueling. After much discussion in Swahili, they send Arnold forward as the spokesperson and asked if we could add a hospital, a school, and a market.
