| From Kenya 2009 Photo Album |
Driving an hour in the Naivasha Region over roads made for mountain goats and donkeys we found ourselves at the Ndabibi primary School, sitting in the midst of what appears to be dessert due to the drought that has hit Kenya. Taking photos in the area was a challenge as on our right were brush fires, on our left was cyclones of dust rising hundreds of feet into the sky and above us was the bright sun found on the equator.
The ground was hot and yet over 50% of the children were not wearing any type of foot covering. We did surveys of the parents to determine the most beneficial parts of the bed kit. To our surprise, due to the temperatures in the high 30s, many felt the blanket was the most important item as the temperature drops as much as 20 degrees in the evening.
We had hoped to make a quick exit as we faced a 2 ½ hour drive to our next destination but had to go through the formal thanking ceremony. Two hours later, after several lengthy speeches while the children and the parents sat patiently under the hot equator sun we were free to leave. It was an eventful drive to Nakuru as we saw much wildlife upon the way.
