Kenyan Freckle: July 2011
http://lee-peacecorps.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 5, 2011. Many months of work have finally paid off. I had wanted to leave behind something tangible for the kids to look at for years to come while they are here. The world map project is something that PCVs from around the world engage incorporate their community in; I wanted the same thing for my school. Peace Corps provided us with a manual for the entire project; from drawing the borders, grids, drawing the countries, painting and labeling. Countries were drawn using the grid sheet.

Kenyan Freckle: June 2010
http://lee-peacecorps.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 30, 2010. Would you like an escort? I have not done a good job of keeping my blog updated. There has been a lot that has happened. Well I guess not that much, just watching a lot of world cup soccer. The longer there is between the harder it is to include what I missed. For one, it would be nice company. Third, it would help kill/chase away rats. Would you like an escort? My prompt response while at a restaurant having only chai was a resounding NO! I get frustrated with the religion conv...

Kenyan Freckle: July 2010
http://lee-peacecorps.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 29, 2010. End of Term 2 Year One. I gather from what I have learned from other PCVs that this is a hard job being a volunteer. We were first taken to see the recently deceased Mzee (older gentlemen). He was in his casket inside his house. All the while there were numerous spiritual songs being sung as we paid our last respects. We finished and returned back to watching the music videos. The answer was yes. I did not feel like the workers would get that much to eat. I have shared 2 ...Soon ...

Kenyan Freckle: February 2011
http://lee-peacecorps.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 28, 2011. Impromptu English Grammar Lesson. After explaining each in detail they wanted to know which of the two was the best. I told them “In 10 minutes” and “after 10 minutes” are correct. The gentlemen insisted on knowing which is best so the customers would pick that one. I said using “In 10 minutes” tells the customer it will get finished fast, under 10 minutes. This was definitely a fun experience. I wonder when I go back if any of the signs will be changed.

Kenyan Freckle: March 2011
http://lee-peacecorps.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 11, 2011. This past week I had my kids do a simple exercise. Apparently it is engrained in Kenyans to love cameras; therefore I put the idea the to good use. I wrote out on pieces of paper the letters that make up their name. For each letter of their name they would sign and I would take a picture. Of course they enjoyed this. Below is pictures of a few of the kids. Monday, March 7, 2011. Change from the Inside Out. I appreciate that people go to great lengths to make sure things are clean&...

Kenyan Freckle: September 2010
http://lee-peacecorps.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 24, 2010. The next day we traveled to Kakamega, (45 minutes away) to watch the National competition for cultural and dance for secondary schools. Their were schools that dressed up in cultural/village attire for dance and song. It was a good experience, though we did not stay there very long. This sign was at our lodge at Amboseli National Reserve. Mark and I standing ontop of a lookout point at Amboseli National Reserve. Dhow on Lamu island. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Kenyan Freckle: April 2011
http://lee-peacecorps.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 28, 2011. Several weeks ago, Saturday, Mach 19, I went to my monthly Parents of Deaf Self Help Group. It has been customary since the beginning of the year that every other month we would have a meeting at a member’s home. On this occasion we went to Madam Mary’s house. I was told by my counterpart, of all the homes to visit this one is a must. I was really appreciative for Madam Mary to welcome us all into their home. We are being served our mandazi and chai.

Saturday, February 20, 2010. Saturday, February 20, 2010. Another instance of Africa time and American time. Also, during my time in the safaricom care center I also was looking at getting another phone. It has been suggested to purchase a backup cheap phone. Why you may ask, incase the primary one gets stolen or stops working it is good to have one. I did not buy the phone, but was comparing prices. President Kibaki and President Barack Obama. On my way back to the matatu station I wanted to stop by the...
