I woke up in the middle of the night with a fever. I didn’t have a thermometer so I am not sure how high it was but I was having massive chills, body aches, the whole bit. I was terrified so I called my mom, took some Tylenol, and went back to sleep. Thankfully in the morning I felt a bit better because we did a game drive all day!
We saw tons of animals once again- giraffes, a male lion, hippos, warthogs, hyena and rhino. That night we took a tour of the Maasai village. They did dances for us and showed us their homes. I got to wear a hat they made out of a real lion mane!

I went with another volunteer to a school with kids who are orphans but live mostly with family members. It was a small school, with only preschool, kindergarten and a 1st/2nd grade combined class. They have 1 teacher for both preschool and Kindergarten, which are 2 small classes connected. I taught “baby class” (preschool) for the morning. I played with all of them during break.
I carried two 5 liter jugs of water, and helped make chapatti. Then we ate with the kids and did the dishes.
We went to 40 thieves and I swam in the ocean. The water was shallow and warm, it was really nice. Then we walked down the beach, checked our email, and took a matatu home.
We took our host families out to dinner at this place called African Pot. The food took forever to come but it was good.
I was thinking a lot today about my purpose, and accomplishing some good in Kenya that would be sustainable.

Hopefully it going better. The beauty of Africa is always fascinating, this one does not think of the great problems of Africa.
