Wednesday breakfast, sausage, eggs, and fruit, was served at 7 AM. At breakfast we met Jenny, a woman from Lancaster county, PA, who is trying to get a work permit to teach and live in Kenya. She is also staying at the guest house for a few weeks. It is amazing who you might meet when traveling.
After breakfast, Kayla received instruction about how to clean a carpet manually (without a vacuum cleaner). She made friends with the women who cook and clean. Later we went to the market and got a few essentials, then toured Kazuri Bead facility. This is a business that produces custom clay beads and jewelry. It is staffed by single mothers. It also provides a medical clinic that meets most of the medical needs of the employees. The clay is prepared, beads or figurines or other pottery items fashioned, fired, hand painted and glazed, and then sold Internationally to benefit the women in this community.
The evening was spent visiting with Mary and her children, Michelle and Matthew. A wild game of spoons (played with checkers) ensued among the children.
Afterward, we visited with Abraham, our host. His wife, Diane, is from Archbold, OH, right near where Gail grew up. Just as I was going to go online to post this, the power went out. Oh well…
