The Wall

Today we dug trenches and helped put a retaining wall around the top of our water tank. Its actually starting to look like a little more than a hole in the ground.  More than once today I spoke with students that were staring in amazement at our handiwork.

Tonight we introduced our African friends to S'Mores, they loved them, we ran out of biscuits (Crackers) and marshmallows. We built a small fire on a high hill on campus. Around the fire we sang songs and listened to some very nice music. We told stories and finally headed back to the residence halls, weary from another productive day.

Pictured to the right is the gourd my friend gave me yesterday. In northern Kenya these are used to transport and store milk.
