It's time again from Zebra Children's Village and report to me. The children today are on a school trip to Nairobi, and only now are back tonight. In the last week there is a lot of back and forth was because of the school trip because there was no money for funding. Ultimately, however, brought the two volunteers to the school of the children work on the money for all children. I'm curious about what the children tell of their trip when they are back.
In the meantime my life here in the Zebra Children's Village acquired a bit of structure. My day starts at 6:15 in the morning clock so that I water, toothbrushes and toothpaste in the main building collector and then move me toward the kitchen where the children after their breakfast, brush your teeth before they clock in between 6:30 and 6:40 clock direction start school. If all the children ready, have breakfast and I myself have time then the resulting Tasks to do. First there every morning, the Weekly would plan: I distribute stickers, when the children the day before their tasks like cleaning the toilets or garbage collect've done. Then I go to find the most clothes pins to distribute the children are still everywhere, and clean up in the office.
go on two days a week, I also after Kiserian to shop for the children. This is necessary because on Wednesday "Fruit Day" at the weekend and the children eat for breakfast, fresh bread. These two things can not do along with the monthly purchase and I have also the opportunity to shop for me:).
I would have an important task but almost forgotten: For a few days I have to milk every morning and every evening together with our security guard the cows. He is quite proud that I have learned so quickly from milking him and now wants to make me perfectly:). To this end he brings me every morning from me personally and has even built a small stool to sit on, so I do not have to kneel on the floor.
He also has the small enclosure where the cows are tethered for milking, a little altered since I've even hit his head. I like to work with him, even though I usually do not understand him because he only speaks Kiswahili and no English. One more reason for me diligently to learn Swahili ... now and I understand even the children!
'm With the guard in the last week the way, I also planted our garden again. We have tomatoes, onions, Zkumawiki (somewhat like spinach) and cabbage ausgesäat and now we are all Evening walk to the water hole and get water for watering the garden. But it will soon come rain and then it grows in the garden all by themselves.
before it goes to fetch water in the evening, I'm busy in the afternoon with the children. Most come from school around 13:30 clock and then it's first wash uniforms and do homework and then learn. Most will still have a bit of time to play when the children have completed your Weekly Schedule. Around 17:00 clock then there is chai (black tea with lots of milk) for all. Yes, I drink Chai now ... but I had to first get used to the whole milk in the tea.
If all supplied with Chai, it goes for most of the water hole. However, rice, especially the big girl and the housekeeper in the kitchen to start preparing the dinner. As they cook on a fire, it always takes a long time to finish the meal for the children. But it is a cozy get-together - for me as Easter celebration in the small and that every night. Sometimes I eat it with the children. There is every night ugali (maize dough from water and flour) and beans or cabbage. I often cook for lunch but also for me if the children are in school, and sit in the evening only with the children when they eat. After dinner you go to brush your teeth and the children wash in the shower house. If on the day enough sun was there, we still have the evening light to sit together. Otherwise, the children go to bed after washing and teeth brushing. Just like me!
