Day 7

Got up at 6 o'clock today! Dad be proud, be proud!
We went to visit one of the dorms today which sleeps 76 of the pupils. It was totally unbelievable. It seemed quite cramped, although the boys are very happy and sooo tidy! They put me to shame!
We went to various classes today and they were really interesting although to be honest I am struggling with the work. They are really bright! We also went to a debating class today and we found the system is really quite different to our own. Although with a little bit of pushing Matthew and I participated, although I am not telling you who won.
We had lunch in the school dinner hall with the other pupils for the first time today also. The food was quite good although we don't think we could have put up with it everyday. And it seems that some of the boys are against the food as well, as they receive a bowl of food and "accidentally" spill it all over the table!
We spent the afternoon with the group of boys that make the Meru Beads in order to raise funds for those who are not in the financial position to attend their school. We learnt how to make the beads at every stage, but we were definitely not as good as the boys. Each of us now a piece of the jewellery to remember it by.
Tonight we went for tea at Elijah and Priscilla's house. It was AMAZING. The food was really good and MY ADOPTIVE MUM WAS THERE! She has told me that I can come and live with her and she will find me a Kenyan husband. the wedding is on the 18th, coming dad? hahahahaha. They loved the presents that we gave them at the end of the evening when everything started to get quite emotional (i blame Mrs Kerr).
We are having such an amazing time and we just wish you could all be with us to share the experience!
