Today was my first day in Africa. I was a little nervous about getting adjusted to everything, but none of that mattered the minute I began to meet all of the people who work and live at Made In The Streets. Today was incredible as I got to meet some of the nicest people I've ever met and get to become a part of the ministry here in Nairobi. Esther taught me how to make a necklace/ bracelet which is a skill the students learned earlier in the week. We got the teacher's resource room more organized today and continued with the classes that have been taught throughout the week. The children seem to really be gaining a lot and I know that we are all gaining a lot as well. The night has just ended with a highly entertaining concert put on by the students and staff with some "guest stars" from the OCC group. This came after a meal with all 44 of us together -- we ate meat (the kids' say it's their favorite food), ndengu (a little lentil) and chapati (tasty bread).
I love it here and look forward to all that we will experience tomorrow.
