Snapshots

Here are a few more photos....

Here is Pauline, my host mother teaching me to cook Chicken Stew, which by the end of the evening was known simply as Kelly's Dinner. We are using a charcoal fire but she also will use a gas stove depending on what she's doing. Kenyan women are badass as it turns out; a cabbage leave or piece of paper might serve as a potholder.
Bhoke (20), Chacha (22?), and Shirley (7 months) at a primary school football match we went to the the other night. Being surrounded by dozens of small children meant that Chacha occasionally had to grab a stick and swat at all their little behinds so that we could have a few inches of personal space.

Sunset is beautiful here because of the rapidly-changing evening weather. Here are two children at the football match. You can sort of see the volleyball net in the background, which it turns out is very popular among girls here.
