So we've finished our time in Gituamba for the trip. It was very sad to leave behind so many friends and new family members.
Our departure from the school was excessively long due to the headmaster's insistence that we have a program to go w/ the snacks and sodas we brought the teachers. In the 2.5 weeks we spent at the school we did manage to teach two teachers to use microsoft excel and with some work they will be able to show other teachers how to keep records on the computer!
For the 4th of July we invited Isaac's family over for a bbq where we made burgers, dogs, chicken, and guacamole. Last summer when Jill, Megan and Lauren visited they made guac and it was quite a hit. The bbq went quite well and we were all invited back to celebrate Kenya's independence in December. The gathering was one of the many ways illustrating how we were embraced by Isaac's family and the community as a whole.
After leaving the village we spent a day in Nakuru before boarding the overnight bus to Kampala, Uganda. Kampala is a beautiful city that is very clean and very friendly. I could definitely spend a lot more time here. We've taken the liberty to enjoy some nice meals in a restaurant and have seen a couple movies.
Tomorrow we're off to an island on Lake Victoria for some needed rest and relaxation. I will post more on our travels here in Uganda in the coming week or so!
Peace to all,
Jake
