In the morning there finally was some rain, the locals waited a long time for it to come. The rain makes the streets less dusty, but it intensifies the smell and makes some of the streets unusable.
Anyways, after breackfast we were on our way to the Kangemi Youth Centre again. Because we didn’t manage to teach the grade 8 yesterday, we caught up on that first thing. They produced some amazing paintings and even taught us a new song!
Afterwards, we had a meeting with a couple of KYC teachers to find out how they live at the moment and also how they imagine their new homes to be.
This day was all over the place: Next we went to the neighbouring Five-Stars-School (also part of the Cifefa-school-network). There we were met by its headmaster Charles Edwards (

For lunch we were than invited to Simiyu’s (the KYC-headmaster) home, where his wife had prepared a fabulous meal.
After lunch we quickly made some rough measuring of the building site.
Then we travelled back to the Irmgard’s place (the Oseki farm), where we will stay for the weekend and attend a large meeting with all Cifefa-headmasters. Hopefully being in this less busy environment we will also be able to jot down our first chaotic thoughts about the design of the teachers housing.
