Here we are nearing the end of our trek, showing off our thorn-covered shoes and scratched up legs! We are showing off our newest fashion statement - tennis shoes with skirts...

Here are the kids at the school - the second you take a picture, they come crowding around as fast as they can to get in more!
Here was the last person we asked for directions. We had actually been looking for a different school, but here he is explaining to At Least that the school is actually another 2 hours walk - never mind! That was the rock path we scurried down and back up to get to the actual school we went to.
Here we are walking to the school. He led us the rest of the way. Kelsey is in the back, our newest guide in the middle and At Least is in the front.
This was the first hill we climbed up - that is Lake Victoria in the background. It was very beautiful - just really hot!

This is after football - I will try to find a picture of the field, but it was huge! There were only 12 of us - it was a little crazy! Marisa had taken a bunch of pictures of the boys and was showing them after the game.


This is where we stay when we're in Mbita - inside is a common room, a little kitchen area and two rooms with bunkbeds. All the electricity is solar-powered - it powers one light in the common room.
This is the peace-shed. Simon had this built for the orphans during the post-election violence several years ago. They thought they were going to have to bring them out to Mbita for safety, but the day it finished, the treaty was signed, so the orphans didn't need to come.
This is the clinic! By the time we left, the paint had all been finished and gutters for catching the rain water had been put on. It is pretty large - the idea is that eventually, the left side will be a comprehensive care center.
This was our ferry ride to and from Mbita - so much for safety right? Don't go to close to the edge! On the way back, we were a little late, but Simon (who seems to know everyone, I'm finding out) just called the ferry guy and they waited. Pays to be with someone who has connections. :o)
