Kibera and More

The photos you see are just a small portion of Kibera. Kibera is the poorest and largest slums in Africa just recently dropping past the slums in South Africa. I took these after meeting the woman that took care of Peter when he was an orphaned child in Kibera.

Today Paul and I started teaching the case workers how to type and use Microsoft Word more effectively. We had them take a test to find their words per minute and it was, frankly, quite shocking to see how poorly they did in comparison to Paul and I. But it's understandable because they were never taught how to type in school, they never even had computers.

Oh, quick update on the pineapple incident. I'm good. It didn't affect me or knock me out in anyway so that's good. I'm thinking of trying some other fruits, you know, try my luck. We also ate some minnows last night which were tasty, heads and eyes and all. Kind of awkward when they're checking you out with wide eyes while you're munching on them but Paul and I pulled through.

Next week, Paul and I will be moving to our next homestay with a board member named Rachel. I met her, her husband and their children already and they all seem very nice.

Tomorrow, during the Saturday Program, I will begin pulling kids from the activites to get their headshots which is one of my jobs while I'm here. There will be approximatley 24o children in the program by August which is amazing since the organization was only started 2 years ago. I am also experimenting with video editing but it may end up with me just giving Keith a large pile of video clips and let him do the rest of the work, but I think I'm doing pretty good so far.
