Stock Impala Rims For Sale

Holiday

Juhu At last I am sitting in front of laptop in order to report again in my life here in the Zebra Children's Village. The last weeks were pretty stressful: Some children were ill and had to go to the doctor, the school was closed for a week and the children wanted to be busy all day, the children had to the graduating class of work prepared at school be, and then the little annoyances of everyday life such as broken windows, no fire wood for cooking in the kitchen, heaps of mud and flooding after rains in the night, not resting cows during milking, running around calves, beating in the bathroom, crying children, never tired of expectant children and including children, to let go of a not always easy and kissing everywhere:)
Yes, it was November in the abstract and today is already the 1st December!? I can not even imagine. You have zero temperatures, and Christmas decorations everywhere - I have 30 ° C or more each day and Christmas ever not in mind. But there was so was: Did yesterday received mail from Flensburg (THANKS Frank!) And now a small advent calendar!
But what happened in November or so? First, it rained quite often, so there is everything right now green. Many of the people even say that it has long been not so green here! I find it definitely really cool, because the first ten weeks where everything was gray-yellow, were for me as a country child already getting used to.


Not quite as green, but the photographic evidence,
that live ostriches at the door.

Also, I've had in November, my first contacts with Kenyan doctors. On the one hand, I was sick and on the other hand, I have been with some children at a doctor. One girl had to be pulled a nail in the foot, with two children had teeth and then had a boy malaria. I therefore went with the kids in there to matatu to Kiserian and "Hospital" gone. The children were examined and treated exactly as is the case in Germany, only that the doctors here with less equipment than work in Germany and (at least in Kiserian) do not have as many fancy equipment. Subsequently, the treatment will be paid directly and distributed more and more drugs. This was / is for me a debatable point: drugs are here really like candy eaten and distributed. After every visit I again had a bag with three or more different drugs that the children would take three times a day.
It was in November but also many wonderful experiences. One weekend I was with the volunteers here from the environment in Nairobi to celebrate. Together with my predecessor Zebra Children's Village we went to a nightclub, was played in that day live music on a huge site. Although we had to watch constantly on our valuables and bags and it was stolen a few little things (no idea how the hired have that), but we also had a lot of fun !!... shyness not know the Kenyans when it comes to speak to white people.
We have also at one of the days on which the children had no school, a little trip to the river around here made. I was thinking that I do like the river or the river look like, but I was taught better one. From one to the other moment I thought, I'm not near the ZCV, but in the middle of the jungle!






And again the Compare my previous idea of the river ...
... and expanded my idea of the river:

the rest of November we were busy with the children for the school to learn. Here ends the school year in late November freely with the final exam and then have the children a month. In early January, the school will be going on with the new school year and the children have once again another three months to school in April, a month is free. That means for me that I now also have a month I did not free because the children were picked up by their guardians to Christmas at home to spend. I'm all alone here in ZCV together with the security guard and enjoy the tranquility. And I'm learning from morning to night with a guard Kiswahili and talking with the Maasai men who come here regularly to recharge their cell phones in our solar system. In between I make my views on the way to run a round or Kiserian shopping. Cook am I doing at the moment not really, that's all the security guard:) plant just like watermelon, because I so love to eat and drive just do not always Kiserian need to get me to buy them:)
Next week I'll probably leave it in the direction of Lake Victoria, in order to pursue other volunteers ...

Moses Strikes A Rock Craft

rainy season

I take my time now just a bit for you to write about my life here in the Zebra. It is Saturday morning, 8:22 Clock (6:22 clock with you). The housekeeper has just walked past my window to the Chai make for the kids to breakfast. Today, NEN all bit later: It has just stopped raining and everything is flooded. Save again once the kitchen! The housekeeper is So, at first everything dry must disclose before they can make fire.
lies before me a tough week: children have discretion on the basis of the final examination of the eighth grade next week and to make matters worse, even our guard from now on vacation. No, he has really deserved ... he has his family for eleven months and not seen day and night spent here in the Zebra. So that means for me that I now really have morning and evening milking, and the more or less alone:) This is the milking but not the problem, but the tying of the cows before I can start with the milking. But the housekeeper, we help me and together we can get it done somehow.
And then there's another "problem": Since last week, but in fact often times it's raining, which means a whole lot of water and mud. Our parlor literally float. Without rubber boots because nothing works! 've Been so Thursday in possession of a new pair of boots ... for 500 Khs, do not say by 5 €.
rain also means: No more water problems and more GREEN:) It's really unbelievable how quickly everything here is green. Two nights of rain-rich off! With the rain here and the incredible diversity of insects increases. Although've not seen any mosquitoes, but the number of flying beetles has increased incredibly and we should therefore on no account leave open doors when light is on. And then there are the frogs, who hold a concert every night here now.
With the rain still another challenge has come for us: We have no paved road to the Zebra Children's Village, we can currently achieve no car. We had some visitors on Thursday by an American couple who visited us regularly now and Fruit Salad for the children bring, but the Maasai residents had only after coaxing the gate at the road open for them ... and as it turned out well with good justification, because on the way back, the Americans have unfortunately stuck. This is something on the car broke down, so they had to be towed. Fortunately, they had left us in time, otherwise they would have had to stay with us because it was too dark. Let's see how the times here now goes to the supply. My project partner and I were lucky on Monday bought quite a lot of food, but our fire wood is empty ...

I see now the way back as three weeks. Have been told yesterday to open my braids from the children. There were actually 186 braids! The braided synthetic hair had already slipped out relatively well and it did not look so good. I also could not wash my hair properly. Click for the women this is normal, but true for me then but very unusual. Let's see expectant, I determined at some point again can braid the hair!

you could tell a whole lot more but my laptop battery is empty waiting and now all children are awake ... and the cows)

Yes ... Today, only a short one ... we have some problems with our solar system. Therefore, my lacking power for my laptop to long entries write. Also is the very end of the month and I actually also do not have time, I write notes and official reports for the orphanage needs.


What is very important in any case: my partner is finally here and it's actually a bit rained more, so we first have to buy water:)
Recently, I miss the weather and the fall in Germany. Can you probably do not understand, right? Here it's just hot every day, often until 35 or 36 ° C and everything is dried up ... but already soon we will swim in water!
