So after 2 days at the hotel in downtown Nairobi, I'm ready to move in with my new family and start working. People have been very kind, but it's expensive to stay in the hotel (yes, expensive by Western standards). Not to mention, its hard not to get a little lonely.
A little girl came up to me yesterday. She couldnt have been more than 5 years old, and she was alone wandering downtown. She would grab the hands of passerbys, pleading "Buy me Pizza" "Buy me Ice". She grabbed my hand and wouldnt let go. Hard to watch and makes me want to get to work.
I will have very limited access to internet from now on, but I will do my best to send message whenever possible. Please do leave me messages on my skype phone number. It'll be great to hear your voices.
With love... Now off to my new home.
