Monday Movie Madness!

on September 29, 2009May 13, 2010 By Jenn Winter

Dre, Lyndsay and Lauren eagerly await Fame! I'm trying to bring back an old volunteer tradition. Every Monday the movie theaters in Nairobi run a promotion - movie, popcorn, cold soda and either a hot dog or a Mars bar for about $5. They refer to the promotion as Monday Movie Madness and the VICDA [...]

Glad Kids Brosis

on September 29, 2009May 13, 2010 By Jenn Winter

A bunch of us - Nikki, Heather, Lyndsay, Lauren, Dre and I - set out in the hot sun down Ngong Road yesterday to meet with Abel Siro, the director of Glad Kids Brosis Education Centre in Lenana. It was great to see the centre and how far they've come in the past three years. [...]

Locked Out

on September 29, 2009May 13, 2010 By Jenn Winter

As mentioned before, Sunday was Clare's last day in Kenya, so we made the most of it. After heading to the Yaya Maasai Market for a little shopping, Nikki, Heather, Clare and I made our way to Irene's where we piled into the car and headed out to check on the progress of The Lord's [...]

Clare’s Farewell – The End of a Kenyan Feminist Movement

on September 27, 2009May 13, 2010 By Jenn Winter

Just as I get used to people from home being with me in Kenya, they start to leave! Sadly, Clare is the first to say kwaheri and board a plane bound for Chicago via Istanbul. It's been so wonderful having Clare here, and I hope that this is her first trip of many! To read [...]

The Value of a Shilling

on September 27, 2009May 13, 2010 By Jenn Winter

Just an observation that Nikki and I were discussing last night - what is the value of a shilling? Mathematically speaking, at the moment about 75 ksh (Kenyan shillings) equal $1 but, unless you're trying to figure out how much money you have in your bank account, that's irrelevant. 400 ksh - A taxi ride [...]

The Many Looks of Heather

on September 27, 2009May 13, 2010 By Jenn Winter

I think that it's fair to say that Heather has really embraced Kenya, especially when it comes to her looks. The past two weeks have been a transformation as Heather looks more and more African-chic. Let the photos tell the story...

Jennifer Yard

on September 25, 2009May 13, 2010 By Jenn Winter 1 Comment

I am DELIGHTED to report that the chicken coup for Baruku has been constructed and is eagerly awaiting chickens next week! The residents worked hard to get it done ahead of schedule and are extremely motivated for this project. I'm flattered (and a little bit embarrassed) that they have decided to call the project Jennifer [...]

on September 23, 2009May 13, 2010 By Jenn Winter

George and the shop owners helping to load the chicken feed, feeders and water drinkers in the back of George's car. This is just a short update to report that George and I went to Bul-bul this morning to order 200 Kenbro chicks and, if all goes according the plan, there will be chicks at [...]
