A Quick Hello

I apologise for not posting for so long, I can’t believe that a week has flown by – it’s been crazy busy over here.

Over the weekend, Kaguya grew from two to seven! Victoria and Lisa, from Nutrition, joined us on Friday, and our three Education girls, Chaviva, Allie and Sarah, got in on Monday. The past few days have been spent showing the girls around and introducing them to the Kenyan way.

On top of all that, the Nomination and Election process is in full swing. We had a great nomination week, with over 29 nominees. We had a mandatory nominee meeting on Sunday, to congratulate them and discuss what the positions would entail. Some people didn’t show up, so we ended up with 22 very strong candidates to the position. Its very exciting, as we were a little nervous that we would not get very many at all, or that we would be left with weaker candidates.

Throughout this week, we are running elections. So far, 25% of the members have come out to vote! It’s Thursday on this side of the world, and these elections run until Saturday evening. How exciting the project is getting is unreal.

I’ll post a longer blog tonight, I am just running off and heading to Kisumu, we need to get some more groceries! (Mangos are 45 cents, needless to say, its mostly all I eat)
