I am really getting ready to go now. I finished my last workshop for the school district for the summer and am ready to devote myself to getting ready to go to Africa. Of course, I have to do my taxes and clean my house during this time as well.
Yesterday and today I bought some things to take along...bandanas, carbiner hooks, and a cooling scarf. I will use the bandanas and hooks for trade and gifts to the Kenyans who help us. Tomorrow night I will go to dinner with Sarah and Julius Were. Julius will be one of our group leaders and Sarah is the Occupational Therapist in our Early Childhood Special Education Program. The other team leader will be Josie Mai, Sarah's sister.
Next week I will make some Boardmaker symbols to take along. The ones I usually do have English words accompanying the pictures but I have learned that I can put Swahili words on them instead. That will be interesting.

I can almost imagine the poverty you are seeing, I was in Cairo Egypt a few years ago and was overwhelmed with the poverty I saw there. The work you are doing is wonderful, God bless you and your team. I will be anxious to hear all about you experience when you return.
