Hello everyone! Anyone?

I've been here in the Nyumbani Village (outside Kitui and Kwa Vonza) for roughly a month and a half now and I still sometimes feel like the first sun burnt puritan in the new world. Although I feel pretty well adjusted to life here in the village now, I have to say that I still see and experience things here that amaze and confuse me on a daily basis. When I got here I had a vague idea of what I might be doing in the polytechnic department and after seeing all the other jobs to do I jumped into things here with 5 projects at once. It's true that things can sometimes move slowly, but that doesn't stop the staff and myself from working hard through each day. I like to work, I sleep better that way. This blog has been a long time coming so I will try to update it as much as possible with stories and explanations of life here in Kenya. I'll also include pictures from my adventures, some relating, some not. This first one is from my Christmas in the Nyumbani Karen home, and I think it sums up my attitude pretty perfectly right now. I am fueled with the heat seeking power of a baby Moses.
