Sorry!

Jambo, jambo bwana. Habari gani mazuri sana. Wageni, wageni (some word I forgot). Kenya yetu hakuna matata.

Hey so once again my life has been hectic since summer started. I went to Costa Rica first which was great but it wasn't as great as I thought it would be... I thought it would be amazing but for the time I was there it was good but never life changing. I stayed with a family that consisted of a mother, father and three children in a two bedroom house. It was cramped and I definitely got to experience another side of life.

I then went to Kenya which was the most amazing experience of my life. When I look back on my posts I realize what a whiny loser I sounded like because the kids that I met and worked with in Kenya have real problems to overcome and although mine seem huge, in the grand scheme of things they will all work themselves out. I'm going to try to attach an essay I wrote about Kenya. It's too amazing to put into words but if people want to hear about it I'll write more about in a special post by request.

So I'm at my new school and I like it a lot. I feel like my life has resembled the song by All Time Low, Weightless. "Maybe it's not my weekend but it's gonna be my year", I have a feeling and I hope that this will be my year, I have so much I want to do for Children of Kibera and in general and I just feel this light waiting to get out.

On another note one of the guys that gave me so much trouble last year is coming to visit me in two weeks :)! I've gotten a lot closer to him again and he's one of my best friends. He can always make me happy, believes in me and supports me. He still frustrates me but I guess you just have to take the good with the bad.

Some songs from the Children of Red Rose:

"On on on we are marching on the children of Red Rose are marching on. We can march on the land we can march on the sea we can really march in the air"

"Down in the Jungle where nobody goes there's a big elephant washing his clothes with a rumba rumba here and a rumba rumba there that's the he washes his clothes. Boogie down down boogie woogie that's he washes his clothes."
