Made it to Nairobi Safely

After about 24 hours of traveling and one real quick lay-over in London, I made it to Nairobi! I've been traveling with the CTC Medical Team. There are about 15 people in the group and everyone is very  nice and excited to help. There seems to be a common bond that we share in our desire to help the folks in Maai Mahiu.

Everything here looks so different and so beautiful! I looked out my window this morning and saw no two trees alike. And every tree had a different color bloom or a different shaped leaf. It really was beautiful.

I haven't gotten a whole lot of sleep. When I'm supposed to sleep, I'm awake. And when I'm supposed to be up and around, my eyes are heavy and itchy. I may be a little sleep deprived and not able to make a whole lot of sense.

Later today, we will be traveling to the village where I will be living at for the next 2 months. I'm excited to meet all of my colleagues and future friends in Maai Mahiu.

Until next time!

PS - I met this silly girl that's on the Medical team, she eats candy allllll the time. :0 six bags a day. It's amazing.

Leaving tomorrow!

I'd like to invite you all to follow me in my experiences in Kenya over this summer. I'll be interning with an amazing organization called Comfort The Children International – www.ctcinternational.org located in Maai Mahiu, Kenya from May 27th till August 12th – two and a half months. I hope to keep you all updated on my experiences with the people and culture through stories, lyrics, and pictures! Here we goooo!
