Daily life, the Second

Another week has passed. The children are now in the church and I have a little time to write something about my life here.

What happened last week? At the beginning of the week, our water supplies completely empty and we were forced to buy new water. Thus came then on Tuesday a large truck filled with 10,000 liters of water and three of the tanks behind the buildings. I hope the water goes now to the beginning of the rainy season! However, it costs me every day some persuasion with the children when it comes Wash Water for a shower or wash their buckets ... they are never enough.

We have also this week the weekly schedule with daily tasks for the child re-established and consistently every day, made sure that the children do their work. This has sometimes more or less worked out well ... in any case, the toilets were always clean:).

The children have posted this week on Thursday and Friday testing at school and arrived very late from school. Furthermore, they had no homework, so I'm not so much about they had to take care. So I had to drive around Nairobi, for example, the direction to do to register with the Flying Doctors. In the case of an acute emergency, it is guaranteed that I will be flown to a hospital in Nairobi. The children are also members of ZCV at the Flying Doctors. Two are not yet registered. They are only recently ZCV and currently lack the money for a membership for them.

The housekeeper and the social worker in the last week have begun new skirts for the girls to sew. The fabric and the sewing machine were already there and I was off down the road to Kiserian, to buy zippers. At the same time, I've also bought quite a bit of soap, because the stocks were pretty empty. The soap is especially needed on Saturday, as this is the laundry day ... a very stressful morning. All children must wash their clothes and especially the smaller children need support.

On Saturday afternoon the Arts was announced! Yesterday we all have together played football. The boys (5) against all the girls (11 + yours truly). And I've shot a goal:). In the end there was some sweets for everybody and I'm still a round left to run. Just across the country to Street and back. Had first noticed playing football, as I sport has been missing!

What else happened? I milk now regularly with the security guard with two cows. Actually I was thinking that I would have learned from my father ... but milking milking milking machine with ner in Germany is still not quite the same as the milking cow nerve Kenyan by hand. The guard is certainly very confident and said that I can at least monthly in milk right ... if I understood him correctly. He speaks no English and Kiswahili that is just.

For me, it looks the way with Kiswahili not look so good. I still lack so many English words that I still can not focus on Swahili and am glad if I understand the children in English. But I have hope for the children to practice diligently with me;)

So that should have been first for today. The children will be back around 13:30 clock from the church to be and I have yet to take care of before the drinking water, the weekly schedule, washing lines and all these bits and pieces. In the afternoon the volunteers will visit the school of us ... a football match is a must!

Everyday life

Now I'm almost two weeks here and I'm so slow me up. I live alone now in the guest house, which I have already reported in my last entry. In the first week, two German volunteers and an American volunteer living in the guest house with me. Now I am waiting for my partners come from Germany in early November.

Meanwhile, I dug my way through all the shelves and cabinets in the guest house and in the office to get an overview of the existing things and my duties here to provide on-site. Currently, I can look out my duties fairly freely in the Zebra Children's Village (ZCV), as the day is organized by the housekeeper and the social worker with the children. I am primarily responsible for acquisitions and finance, and take care of the material costs to the children. I also try to (regulates the daily tasks of the children) of my predecessors established rule as twice-daily tooth brushing, weekly schedule, or washing days reintroduce to structure the daily lives of children and to hold the children's rooms and the surroundings clean. Also, I am often in Kisherian (sometimes together with Julius), for food and buy school supplies for children. I hope that I have next month an overall view in order to make the beginning of the month, a volume purchase. My predecessors have given me this written up a guide in which I find all the information, get for example the price of products, places where I get the goods at the lowest price, and phone number of the pick up driver ... because not a Matatu I all things;)

What is a matatu? Matatus are here in Kenya, small buses, which actually have 14 seats. This does not mean that ride for 14 people ... 16 Persons is the minimum, before driving a matatu going on ... it does not fit as well as many more people in such a matatu. For example, we have made with the children on a trip to Nairobi. This means that a total of 16 children and 5 adults, so ever 21 people ... and all fit into a matatu. Were added each time at least 3 people who were already in the matatu and the person who collects the fare and ensure that the matatu is always full and the entry and exit of passengers organized.

And how do I get now with a matatu to Nairobi or Kisherian? I run for approx 20mins. across the steppe always in the direction of the school, go to the children of ZCV. At the moment it is quite dry and dusty and not just a few trees are still green. The temperatures during the day are almost always above 30 ° C, but the wind is bearable ... for the locals is winter! So after 20min. gone through the dust bin (with the view of ostriches, zebras, gazelles and cow and goat herds of Massi), I get to a road that leads directly to Kisherian and now I just have to wait until a matatu is. Until now, that was always pretty fast:)

Depending on the condition of the matatus is it then times more times or less rapidly over the road littered with potholes Kisherian. From there I can then continue with Matatus to Ngong and then to Nairobi, but I get just about everything I need in Kisherian. In particular, the market is a dream ... so lots of fresh fruit and vegetables ... and then the Maasai women selling their jewelry ...

After I do the last few days too much with the organization of the orphanage had, I would like to now focus our attention in the children. Tomorrow I will go with them to church and now I play football with them:)

Greetings to Germany!

Some things about Charly

I'm sitting outside on a wall in front of the house where I sleep. It's 7:25 clock - with you still 6:25 clock. I will try to be finished with this blog entry before the children are awake.

Our housekeeper and our social worker, are already awake. You are currently in the "kitchen" (a small hut, built with corrugated iron to half and half with tarpaulin) for Chai to prepare the children for breakfast on a wood fire.

Next to the kitchen is another hut of corrugated iron, stored in wooden stocks in particular, on the other hand, the 2 cows locked up with her two calves on a small piece of land. If the children are awake, the cows are free of them left here and walk freely around the grounds. In front of the guest house where I sleep, is the pitch of the children with two simple goals in wood and without a net. A little further behind it stands the outhouse.

So now I am reversed. In an extension of the guest house I can see the house of the housekeeper, in which Julius lives when he visited the project. Julius is currently my contacts and leads me to the project. After this house are two shower houses for the children and finally the main house, in which the Office, a maid's room, a boy's room and a room for the children.

are precisely the two eldest of the children walked past me to help in the kitchen. Especially the older ones are very independent when it comes to the work here is on the site. I'm curious how the next week looks like, when all the children go back to school. Currently they have holidays.

Now I had to go into the office. My laptop took power and it is only there and only on the day when the solar system is running. However, there are now also in the guesthouse two lamps. I do not know exactly where the electricity comes from this, but I'll figure it out;)

If I here Office from which see, I see even a roof, which I've told yet: It is the umbrella for the largest tank is collected here on the site in the rain water. He is buried in the soil and currently quite empty ... We are waiting for the rainy season. In addition to this a huge tank under the ground there still behind each house small tanks in which rainwater is collected on the gutters and then when these tanks are full, the water runs underground in the large tank. About the rain water runs almost the entire water supply. It is for showering, washing clothes, cooking and - mixed with chlorine - used as drinking water for the children. I buy still water in the city to get used too slowly to new food situation.

Well away from the Zebra Children's Village in the cities. So far I have seen Kisherian, Ngong, Nairobi. I arrived in Nairobi on Sunday. Unbelievable how many people live there. Everywhere there are small shacks and stalls, where everything possible is offered. Especially bananas, Coca Cola and credit cards for cell phones are everywhere. There are supermarkets, banks, cinemas and all the other shops that I know from Germany. Only one thing for me was really different: in small farms or on small pieces of grass in the middle of the city are many people and sleep there - if you're tired, you shall be easy to go there.

From Nairobi we went on to Ngong. A somewhat small city that is home to Julius with his family and some volunteers from Via eV. Two nights I stayed there and was able to learn at dinner in the family of Julius a little bit about the life of the family. It was the food very versatile (especially on vegetables that have been used) and I could not believe it ran it, morning and evening meal at the TV.

Then finally it went further than the Zebra Kisherian Children's Village. From Kisherian and the way the Matatus there, I'll write later more accurate. It is the city where I will shop here regularly.

Finally, "Some things about Charlie." Charly is my roommate in the guest house ... a bat, I have not seen, unfortunately, picks me up at night, but currently is doing with her high notes from sleep. Charly lives somewhere on the top floor in the guest house and has then all rooms (two rooms with beds, a kitchen with dining and living area and space for washing) in mind.

The children will come right back from the kitchen, where they just drink their chai. They were, as I have written, all here in Office and have me "good morning" and said questions. I will first brush with all the teeth and then I want them to clean up their rooms and collect the waste site ... tasks that have been neglected lately. In the afternoon we will then see a movie together:)
