Yesterday was my last day at Margereza. There was only one mama there so we had one class for each level while the other group played. I taught matching and shapes. It started raining after porridge time, so we stayed in the porridge room and the mama told stories and sang with the kids. They are very stern but you can see that they really enjoy the kids too. Liz cried when we left.
We had veggie burgers for lunch like we requested and I went into town with Laura and Leah in the afternoon to do some last minute gift shopping and go on the internet. It was super humid and nasty, and I was glad to return to home base for dinner. It always stays so cool there, I think from the concrete and stone buildings. A bunch of the girls and I went out for drinks with Edward after dinner and then out for burgers. I was so excited that my cheeseburger was good.. I STILL have diarrhea every day. We brought the burgers to Glacier bar which is outside. We sat around a fire pit and a Massai man tried to buy Carissa to marry her. It was funny for a while, but we eventually asked Edward to step in because it was getting a little out of control.
Today I couldn’t sleep so I got up and was packing all morning. A new group of volunteers came, and I gotta say I’m glad I was in my group and not theirs. It’s mostly older adults and a few British women.
