Some Pictures!

Hello friends and family, here are some pictures from our trip so far. Now that we have internet in the city, I will be uploading new pictures about every two weeks. Take a look:


Sir Issack Newton using one of the cameras I brought. They have been using the cameras to document everything.

We call him Dr. Issack because he is going to be a doctor one day in the future. His knowledge of Biology is amazing.

David Focas recovering from Malaria. He had a particularly bad case and had to be hospitalized for nine days.

Students fetching water from the river. Those buckets are so heavy.

Juma doing his morning chores at Shamba.

Group picture of all of the students and teachers and staff at Shamba. I had to stand precariously on a ladder made with nails and 2x4's to take this picture.

Students working on batik- a very popular craft similar to tie-dye.

Mbeck, one of the smallest at Shamba, during class.

The students love to sing and worship every day.

This crazy bird lives at Shamba and has a tail twice the length of its body. It sings beautiful songs, though.

Thank you for your love and prayers!

Until next time,
Scott!
