Today was my last day of classes before midterm examinations next week at USIU, tomorrow I will be working on an action plan at ISSA for the fundraising dinner and on Friday our country director's lecture will be hosted at a Masaai's house atop a mountain overlooking the Nairobi National Game Reserve. We might even get to go swimming!
On Tuesday I learned how to Mambo and Salsa for two hours before we had a great meeting with the contestants from the Mr. and Miss who are participating in the year long program to sponsor an OVC youth from their community.
It has been such a treat to be able to share blow by blow my experience here in Nairobi with all of you. I wanted to post today to thank everyone who has viewed the blog and posted comments. I really enjoy everyone's insight and especially the kinds words. As exciting and positively demanding this program is, it is stressful and often uncomfortable. Obviously I have never lived somewhere previous to Nairobi where everyday I am pushed far beyond my limits, and the comments that are posted or the emails I receive in reaction to my blog have been so encouraging and energizing. All of you have sent the kindest wishes and I want you to know I sincerely appretiate every ounce of love everyone has sent my way in the past two months. Asante sana! Thank you!

Hi Justine
I have been enjoying your blog, and have yet to write a comment - this post prompted me to let you know. I'm glad you are doing well and wish you the best. Lauren misses you - I'm glad she is planning on going to DC to visit before she leaves for her semester abroad. Take care - stay safe and healthy. Sandy Belisle
