Saying goodbye is tough
I'm sat in Kitale cyber cafe for the last time. Today we head to Nakuru to see my friend Fran before heading to Nairobi tomorrow. I've loved my time in Kitale. Seeing the kids and old friends. Yesterday was a tough day. Saying goodbye to the kids at both projects was tough. Charles, the manager at the rescue centre said some really nice words. He said how us being there made the children feel loved, appreciated and respected. He also said that us playing with them breaks down a lot of perceptions which kenyans have about white people - very true words.
After leaving Birunda we went to Liyavo and said bye there. Some of the kids there I have known for 5 yrs and some will be moving onto secondary school soon so yesterday was a real goodbye to them. Some of the kids were crying and I struggled to keep a straight face as I know I will miss them all.
I'm not sure whether I'm going to have access to the internet back in Nairobi. For the rest of my trip I'll be seeing friends, having fun and relaxing. Andy leaves on Friday night, I fly on the 11th.
Thanks for reading my news. If you'd like to see some pictures I'll post some on the website or my facebook page asap.
Thanks for reading
