Issues and Good Timez

First, I just want to say sorry but my computer is not allowing me to upload photos. I tried uploading on everything: this blog, Flickr, email, and even Facebook. They are all loaded in a file on the computer but when it comes to the internet, it doesn't seem to work. It looks like the only updates you'll get will be through these written posts, but don't worry, I am arranging all the pictures and you can all see them once I return to the States (I was thinking of using other people's computers but they are even slower and they need them for work, if you have any ideas, email me at noworries029@rocketmail.com)

Yesterday, Jackson and I visited the campground where we are going to have our August camp. Its near Kibera, the second biggest slums in Africa (the first is in South Africa). The camp was very nice and tucked away into the African forest. Tom, Peter, and I have been talking about the logistics of the camp through Skype; we are planning on sleeping over night a couple times with the older kids so that should be fun with a campfire and such. After that, everyone had a meeting to have a quick update on all the families and how everything is going in the program.
Last night, Peter and Jackie took me to a club called Tacos. They were playing some very cool music and they were also having a dance contest. Because I am a Mzungu (a white person or person of European decent), the MCs called me up and I danced in front of everyone in the club, twice; I got a free beer out of it so that made me feel better. I also met another girl at the club, Cate, and got her number; she's the one who won the "Sizzling Ladies Dance Contest."
