Dear Friends,
Yesterday was a long day! We traveled for 21 hours, flying from Boston to London, and then from London to Nairobi, Kenya. Nairobi is the capital of Kenya and it is a big city with skyscrapers, billboards, and lots of traffic. We stayed the night in a hotel and then left early this morning (Sunday) to catch a flight to Eldoret, which is in Western Kenya.

When we landed in Eldoret, we took a taxi to the Indiana University House where we will be staying for the next two weeks. IU House is a big group of buildings where doctors stay when they come to work at the hospital in Eldoret. We have nice rooms with mosquito netting over our beds!

This afternoon a group of people staying at IU House are going to play a pickup soccer game against a local Kenyan team. It should be fun to watch.

Tomorrow will be a big day! Nick will begin working with children in the hospital, and Amelia, Geoffrey, Zachary, and I will learn more about ways that they can help with the children in the playroom and baby room. I will travel to the Chesina schools later this week, bringing all of those supplies the 4th graders collected!

Kwa herini,
Elizabeth
