We're off again

It has been a hectic time since our last post. Olivia and I have finished our adventures in South Africa and Zonkizizwe and have been visiting with our families for the last month. Today we journey back to Africa to Kenya, where The Wandering Two will be upgraded to The Wandering Three 2.0 (Telia was The Wandering Three 1.0). Olivia and I will be joined by her sister, Nura. The three of us will be living in Western Kenya in a town called Usenge where we will be doing many different activities. A few of the exciting projects we will be a part of are a mosquito house screen kit that will go around the open eaves of the houses there to reduce the chances of getting malaria.  We will be doing a feasibility study to see if the local people would find a device like this useful. We will also be trying to start a peer educator program with some of the youth in the community similar to what we did in South Africa. There are some early childhood development centers where we will be volunteering. Lastly, we will be helping out however we can at the local clinic and have brought with us some medical supplies from my dad's pharmacies to help them out. We will find out more once we get there and may find some new projects to take part in. The three of us will be be in Kenya until mid June and plan to visit the Baha'i House of Worship in Kampala, Uganda during our time there because we will be fairly close. There will be no electricity where we will be living so we have invested in solar powered chargers for some of our smaller electronics and lamps after much research. There will luckily be running water that is collected from the rain and stored in a large container. We will be there during the three rainiest months of the year so water shouldn't be a problem. It will be much hotter than it was in South Africa due to proximity with the equator...shame. We will try and update our blog as much as we can, but uploading pictures may be difficult. You can reach us by email as we will be able to check our email on our phone. Wish us luck!
