I have now fully recovered from Food poisoning – and am back on track. We are now in Kerichio and staying at the Tea Hotel. We can see monkeys running across the roofs and plenty of different birds in the gardens.
We have been out to Mogogoskeit school – about 60kms away. The road is good for about 40Kms – and then it is full of potholes and mud. The last 20kms normally takes 45 mins.
The school caters for both Secondary and primary children – although the older ones have finished their exams and so are not in school this week. The younger ones will finish tomorrow – and then they are on their summer holiday until January.
We have been painting several of the classrooms – and also speaking with the children. They have not seen many white people before – and so find us funny – and also want to touch my arms as they are not used to people with hair.
We did some work in their classroom today – teaching them drawing, and how to use shapes etc. They were very well behaved.
The weather is wet – it rains every day – but it is warm. This is now the rainy season. However, the tea plantations need the rain – and we have seen the workers in the field picking the leaves.
The children like Linda and follow her everywhere – and want their picture taken and to talk to her.
I can’t upload any pictures yet, as the connection speed is to slow. I will probably wait till South Africa.
