Thank You!

After several long days of flying, I am finally in the comfort of my home eating a wide variety of delicious food. It is weird to walk around and not have people staring at you constantly. I have, on more than one occasion, been wanting to say "asante" instead of "thank you", and "jambo" instead of "hello." These words were in my vocabulary every day and were starting to become natural!

One of the first things I noticed when entering the United States again were all the difibulators lined up along the airport wall, ready for an emergency. This caught my eye because in Kenya, the hospitals didnt even have these, and they were governement hospitals! Although I appreciate the fact that if there were an emergency, a life would be saved, it is hard to see that many of them being unused at a time. I almost wanted to rip one off the wall and send it to Kenya myself!

As stated in a comment by a family friend, I will just have to collect my thoughts and help in the best way that I can. There are people in this country that need help, I just have never been exposed to it as much as I was in Kenya. We will see where the world takes me, and maybe one day I will find my niche here in the US helping others.

As for the pictures, I have hundreds, but I cannot post them all on here. I will have to show them to you in person. I can then also show you the video I took of all the children. If you think these pictures have touched you deeply, wait until you see them laughing and playing. It is wonderful!

Also, I promised everyone a picture of my Kenyan mama. Her name is Priscilla and she is sitting to my right. The lady sitting on my left is Jane. She is the sister of my mama and from Nairobi. They were both very lovely and will never be forgotten. I will be staying in contact with them, so when I return someday I can meet up with them.

Enjoy these last few pictures and once again thank you for keeping interest in my blog!
