Kwaheri Tanzania
I am sitting in Gate 3 waiting to get on my plane and I just finished sobbing. I just left 28 people who I could function perfectly without for 21 years and now I don’t know how I’m supposed to go a day without them. Its unreal how fast this program has flown by. I […]

Expedition in Lake Nakuru
I spent the last week on an expedition in Lake Nakuru National Park. We started the 8-hour drive Sunday morning. We got to drive through different parts of Kenya, which I really enjoyed. We drove around the outskirts of Nairobi (we took a route to avoid the city) and saw the city from afar. It […]

DDay & Balls For Dinner
Hello, world! So much has happened in the past week. Last Wednesday we had our second Non-Program Day (our second day off here). We had the option to beading and make bracelets with Mamas or spend some time with Maasai warriors. I chose the warriors and we started the morning going on a walk outside […]

Some students started a coffee committee and bought local Kenyan coffee to brew for breakfast. Emily and I created the Sunshine Committee (shout […]

Foot Pop
Yesterday was our first day of fieldwork! We were all so excited to go on our first safari in Amboseli National Park. It was pretty much all of my childhood dreams come true. I’m not gonna lie, I did tear up a few times. It’s really wonderful and inspiring to be around people who are […]

Mamas on Mamas
Yesterday (Feb 10) was my favorite day here yet. After our Swahili and Social Culture class we visited a boma. A boma is a local Masaai community that consists of a bunch of homes. Masaai women are called “mamas”. It doesn’t matter if they are ACTUALLY a mom or not. They wear beautiful fabric and […]

Jambo!
Disclaimer: This was supposed to be posted Feb. 7th, but East African Internet did not allow that to happen. I also wanted to upload a lot more pictures, but it was IMPOSSIBLE. I tried probably 30 times. Today was my first full day in Kenya at the Kilimanjaro Bush Camp (aka where we live). We […]
