Suswa - Giving Lucy's Bracelets Out

Suswa

Today is a holiday for Kenyans coz it's their independence day or something, so the kids were not in school. I got taken to Suswa outside Nairobi to see the girls of the Maasi tribe!! They are all vulnerable to sexual abuse so they come to this school/home until they have learnt how to look after themselves and become a maasi girl.

I was told not to shake their hands because this is too westernised for them and they don't want our culture brought over to them so they approached me by bowing and I had to pat their head! It was really weird!

This place is so basic, they don’t have much at all, their school has no electricity and everything is very bare. The food was disgusting I tried i but hated it, its call Githeri... Bleh!!

On the drive over I saw 2 giraffes, 6 baboons along the side of the road and about 8 zebra!!! The place was beautiful as it was in a place called Riff Valley, and we stopped at a place called 3rd world View point, so we could take pictures it was so nice!

I gave these girls the bracelets Lucy made and they absolutely loved them!! They were so happy when they got them and were all looking at them for ages! The head teacher was also really grateful! :)

  This is the food we had! Its beans and maize, not goood!! And this guy is so funny! He's called James! He helps with the orphanage and is a story teller :)


This is My one of my favourite kenyan people!!! :D He's called Wellington! He is one of the drivers for the orphanage! He's such a hoot! :)
