Dear Friends,
Another crazy day in Kenya... I met Juliet at Chebuyusi Primary School this morning, where the "cow man" from Rural Service Programme actually showed up to meet us! He and I, Juliet, and the principal of Chebuyusi School sat in the principal's tiny office. I was glad to see that he looked awfully nervous about the situation. He claimed that he'd had the missing cow for a year, but no-one ever told him to bring it! Juliet doesn't believe him, and told him, "Sell that cow and give us the money. Also, give us all the money you earned in the last year, by milking that cow and selling her milk!" She is quite a smart woman, and wants to make sure that this man doesn't take any of the money that Moses Brown students sent for their Kenyan buddies.

These are the fourth graders! I was asking them what their favorite subjects were.

After that meeting, the principal and Juliet showed me around some of the classrooms.

These are the nursery children. The little girl standing up is asking me my name.

Then the school children put on a program, showing me some of the dances and songs that they have learned in school.

Here the instrumental band is playing, dancing, and singing. They seemed to be having a lot of fun.

These little girls did a dance for me, while their classmates played in the instrumental band. Mr. T would be proud of their music! That is Juliet standing on my left, and the school principal on my right.

These kids are reciting a funny poem about what they want to be when they grow up.

It is the weekend, and tomorrow Nick, Amelia, Geoffrey, and Zachary and I will head off for a family adventure to Lake Naivasha, which is about 4 hours south of here. We will stay at a hotel by the lake, and supposedly get to ride bikes in a National Park there that has lions, leopards, giraffes, and lots of other animals. Should be fun! I'll let you know how it is on Sunday.
Take care,
Elizabeth
