7th August

On our second day, we're already feeling like part of the family, if not part of the whole community. Our host family's youngest children Peace and Emmanuel have taken to us like older siblings (and especially to our iPods). All 3 children loved their presents that we brought for them. Grace has struck up a friendship with Aunty Betty, who cooks and looks after the children, and Hannah is attracting the friendships of pretty much every 10-year-old male she meets.
We feel more settled at The Walk Centre school aswell as we get familiar with the teachers and the routine. It's also comforting to have been joined by 3 new volunteers so we are not the only English-speaking fish in a very large, primarily Swahili-speaking pond.

Unlike yesterday we spent the whole day at the school so we got to meet the older primary school children, who study elsewhere in the morning. Stephen and friend, in the picture, were particularly confident with good English and firm handshakes. They, as did all the other children, loved posing for photos.

And at the end of the day, Stephen was the leader of the pack of students that led us home.
