Countdown

i can't believe how fast time is going.

It has been soo long since i have been on to write. Seems that being in the mara with no internet makes it a bit challenging... anyway. I am back. I only have one adult trip and one youth trip left before I board the plane to go back to Canada.

Because the time is coming soo quickly, i can't help but think about the things that I will miss when I go... the things that make Kenya such a special place to me. I have never felt more comfortable with myself than i do here. The children at the schools, the mamas in the villages... they don't care what type of clothes you are wearing, or how much you have spent on your outfit. They look right past that to your intentions... your values, and how respected you are depends entirely on how you treat people... just the way it should be.

The word i have heard the most here... by far, is Karibu. Karibu means welcome. The people i have met, and the places I have gone... I have felt more welcome than anywhere else (aside from my own parent's home). I love it...

All I can think of is how I want my family to come and see everything that we do here, and everyone who has made my stay sooo powerful and meaningful.

Anyway, until next time... i will try to write before I go again.
