What shall I say? Since yesterday, I am back in Kenya again. I went working on Wednesday morning and in the evening I went on my way to Kenya. I have arrived well again. The joy was great as it was a surprise. Succeeded ...

Saturday morning just before eight o'clock... I was already showered and had breakfast as I hear Susan talking to some people at the outside. The children were still in their room. Then the door opens, all the children are dressed, come out of their rooms and sit down at their table.

a Kenyan Sunday... This morning we had breakfast very early because we walked to the church at 8:30 clock. After half an hour's walk we reach the church. At about half past nine, the service is usually started, but here they were still at the rehearsal. A man performs as a chorus leader and encourages the worshippers to sing.

School vacation… Since yesterday our children have school vacation until 29. August. All children have completed their first term with good marks. Here, the school year is divided into 3 terms. 3 months school, 1 month off... or sometimes longer...

Review... I got a general idea of what we have to do in the next few weeks.The water supply in the house still has potential upwards, some leaks, the corn is about to be harvested, many meetings want to be worked off, a lot of office work has to be done and so on. Thank goodness we got water delivered again at the end of the week. The corn has been harvested since yesterday.

There are some days... …you don't need... I had enough of these days until now. So I had this big plans for this trip but nothing succeeds. Meetings do not happen, without which I can not continue. Workers do not come or do their work properly. The new plumber seems to understand what his craft is, however, his reliability has potential upwards...

...Land (water) ahoy This time I have 27 days, without arrival and departure day, available here in Kenya. I was allowed to wait for 16 days. Today the hoped-for visit finally arrived. Mr. David N. Muiru from the Rotary Club Nairobi had already set off early today, I think 5:30, to visit Home of Smile.

A small walk Today Susan and I went to visit another private school. To my question how far it is to walk, she said, a little behind the Catholic Church. Okay, that's okay, we need about half an hour to the Catholic Church. I put my sandals on and off we go. After half an hour we reached the church. We are walking quickly, on and on… Sometime I asked Susan again, how far is it?
