9:10pm I was interrupted last night when 4 new volunteers came. So last night we were invited to the vice-chairman of the football team’s house for dinner. It was just amazing; chapates, fish, ugali, rice, tomatoes, onions, beef, bananas, oranges, sodas…a feast! In their little village lives the vice-chairman his wife and children, his mother, brother and his family. They were so welcoming and generous! The only thing I noticed was that the women and children did not eat with us, making me the only woman. I don’t know why this is. The older men had all spent a lot of time in other bigger cities such as Kisii and Nakuma but have returned because they really like Muhuru Bay.
Now today was a very hectic day. One volunteer was supposed to leave for Nairobi, but there were no matatus heading out of town. They try to pay for a private taxi but he never shows. Another volunteer isn’t feeling well only to find out that he has malaria…again. I head to the house of a boy that we had met earlier, to meet his family, and there is cooked pumpkin, ground nuts, tilapia, tea, and sodas (keep in mind I just ate a huge lunch!) But I eat more to be polite; they had prepared it all for me and the volunteer with malaria who couldn’t come. After eating we took family photos, and when I develop them I will send them copies. The family (like everyone here it seems) are so kind and are truly wonderful people.
