Rebels with a Cause

So contrary to the absense in blogs, I havent gone missing rather I have just been rather busy. So what have I been up to youd like to know? Well weve have new volunteers, lots of teaching, adventures, job and apartment searching, kids everywhere, a bit of sickness and planning a trip to Ethiopia. Yes, yes, Beth and I are going to Ethiopia it took a bit of a hassel, but we finally have everything set to go we will be leaving August 29th and going for 5 days. Weve had birthday parties, which are the best days ever because we get cake and ice cream and have lots of fun. The following day 10 kids went to Ireland, courtesy of of the Irish Nyumbani Board. They were so excited and it will be a wonderful experience for them. Ten days of travel is sure to leave them tired and sleep but just as well storied tellers for days to come. The oldest and one of the first boys here at Nyumbani has left to live on his own. This is a land mark in time for Nyumbani as he is the first to set foot outside by choice on his own. He is an inspiration to all of the other kids and such a shining example to everyone he encounters. We had a good bye party for him with singing, acting, and lots of wishes and blessings. Which reminds me of what I have yet to write about.. the first. There seem to be many firsts since Ive been here. We have our first girl going to University. The first boy moving out. There is more, but this sinus infection is really making me a bit woozy which makes me forget things. Things are wonderful but I must go to Nairobi, we shall chat later.
