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!
