Back in the states

Hello all,

This is Scott reporting from back in the U.S. I arrived in Nashville Monday night, and have been transitioning from the amazing experience of living in the village of Ikumbo. Home for almost two days, and our experiences at the secondary school have stayed in the forefront of my mind. I am definitely missing the kids, from both the secondary and primary schools. Furthermore, I have not stopped thinking about our last day in Ikumbo. All morning, alongisde community members young and old, we hauled rocks up a steep hill, so those working on the new library would be able to lay its foundation. I had a blast that morning - witnessing the entire village come together and haul heavy boulders, all for the benefit of the community's children, was beautiful to see. We have many pictures, and you will soon get to see exactly what I'm talking about.

I have never been one to possess great patience - I am anxiously awaiting the return of Rafal, Billy, Rajshri, and Amritha. I desperately want to start uploading the countless photos and videos we took, so we can begin to show you all the great things going on within the classrooms of Form 1, 2, 3, and 4 of the Ikumbo Secondary School.

Take care all, and hope all is well in Nairobi.

Scott
