Hey Mum & Andy!
Had my first tears today, I didn’t expect it to be so soon but when I waved to a little girl at the side of the road and her face lit up the tears just came, (the sunglasses were put on) also when I seen the houses it just hit home that I was actually in a third world country and that their living conditions are far worse than mine! I thought that yesterday felt like the reality was kicking in, but I was wrong, because it was today.
We visited our first school this afternoon (after a morning packed full of animal sightings on a walking safari). The school visit was a mixture of feelings, their faces when they seen us were so welcoming and I didn’t know weather to cry or smile. We played some games with them and they sang us a song, it was lovely! We gave them some gifts and they were so grateful they couldn’t express it enough. We got a chance to take photos with the children, most of us found that they clung onto us and wouldn’t let go! As we were walking away from the school and those that had been crying thought about the fact that it was actually a well of school we had just left, but still was very emotional.
Well anyway I’m going to go now hope you are both okay – I’m not missing home yet ha-ha!
Lots of love Gem xXx <3
Hey everyone!
So the past couple of days have been tiring, but all of the late nights, have paid off Yesterday and today. Yesterday we went to Elsamere, with the Lion lady. That was one of our first experiences with the Animals up close, with some monkeys. But today was the best! We went on a walk through Safari, and got so close to a giraffe that was posing for pictures, Zebra, Monkeys and Pumba. It was amazing to be so close to the animals, even if we had to get up at 5:30am.
Then this afternoon we visited Longonot EDB Primary School, and it was amazing. We were all in tears at some point, being that it was the first time we got to meet and talk to the children. Their excitement about seeing us all was unbelievable.

Hello Everyone! Really enjoyed today. The “bush walk” was really good – saw giraffes, monkeys, zebras and other exotic animals. It made the early start all worth it. First night camping was ok, got more sleep than I thought I would! The school was the best though; they have so little but are so happy. I felt like a celebrity. We also stopped off at a voluntarily run place for orphans and children from single parent families. The children are so happy and friendly. I’m not missing home anymore!
Hello. Jambo
Today has been the best day by far. We got up at 5.30, had our breakfast in the dark and left about 7-8. We went for a walking safari and managed to get close to giraffe, Zebra, antelope and some monkeys. In the afternoon we went to a local primary school which was amazing. We gave them their gifts and had a short barn dance. Got some great photos. Hope you are all well.

Hey everyone!
So the past couple of days have been tiring, but all of the late nights, have paid off the past couple of days. We went to Elsamere, with the Lion lady. That was one of our first experiences with the Animals up close, with some monkeys. We went on a walk through Safari, and got so close to a giraffe that was posing for pictures, Zebra, Monkeys and Pumba. It was amazing to be so close to the animals, even if we had to get up at 5:30am. Our first night in a national park was soo good. Buffalo and baboons were literally walking past our tents while we ate dinner, and we thought we saw 2 hyena when we were going to bed in a bush neqar our tents that was funny because everyone was getting paranoid.
We’ve visited two schools so far, Longonot EDB Primary School and Kapsoi Primary School, it was amazing. We were all in tears at some point, at the first Primary School, being that it was the first time we got to meet and talk to the children. Their excitement about seeing us all was unbelievable, it was like we were famous or something. Then we played matched of football and volleyball against the second school, that was class, the children were playing in bare foot which amazed us all.
Don’t worry mum I’ve got some good pictures, of the animals and the children. The kids were so amazed by our digital camera’s, and all clung onto us so they could see the pictures of themselves.
The highlight of my trip so far was one little girl in the Kapsoi Primary asking me to come back to visit their school.
Got to go now, we’re currently in the safari truck on our was to the Rain Forest, Which should be fun, Peter said it will probably rain loads so all of our stuff will be soaked.
Anyway I’ll see you when I get back, Kiss Tommy for me.
