Teule Kenya

I finally made it to Teule! I started off the day by going with Catherine (one of the cooks) to the market to buy some avocados and mangos! I spent a lot of time with Catherine and she is just one of the most wonderful people I know. We weren't even in the market yet and I had 2 marriage offers from Massai men...but I tell them I'm "married" ;). It seems to work if I stick with that! After we came home from the market, I finally unpacked and settled into my room here. It feels so good to be here and I still cannot believe it sometimes that I am actually in Kenya!! When school let out I got to see the kids, it was so fun to see the all! We played about 100 rounds of duck duck juice (they can't pronounce goose!)and about 9 times out of 10 I was the "juice", so I am exhausted from running around all day! I am looking forward to my work here, I know I will be busy helping with all the cases here at Teule. I am meeting with one of the directors here at Teule tomorrow to begin my job of reviewing cases and seeing what the next step is for the child individually. I am going to take some pictures soon so you all can see what Teule looks like and some of the awesome kids who live here! Love you all!
