Day Behind

So I did not post a blog last night because I was not feeling well.. I am having a hard time recovering from the flight and getting used to the food. BY the way Kenyan food is so yummy I just have a sensitive tummy. So let me do a recap of Sunday:

We went to church in the morning which was so amazing!! The vibe in african church is so different from the vibe in churches in Canada. The worship was so much fun to listen to because they got so into it. After church we went to this Ethiopian Restaurant and it served the best food I have ever tasted!!! Words cannot even describe how amazing it was lets just say that everyone in the Stucke family would of been all over it and the seagulls would of been in heaven. I would show a picture but I cannot find my computer charger so this post is going to be short and sweet. After the amazing lunch we went to this place called new life which takes in abandon babies. This was a bittersweet time because the babies are so cute and so loved its just sad to think that every single one of them at one time was abandon. I love babies so much so to sit around and feed babies aging from 3months to 2 years old was a dream. New life is such a beautiful place God is working there.

Now onto what we did today:

I started the morning off with a workout and quiet time in the garden which was lovely we then had our morning activity. For the entire morning we had a teacher come in to teach us swahili which was so much fun!! From our first lesson I have learned basic greetings and introductions. As I have said in a previous post I want to learn german and Spanish and now I want to add Swahili to the list because it is so fun to learn. Tomorrow we have another lesson so after it I will make a post about the words I have learned :) and then after lunch we went to new life again which was super fun and busy. The ladies there are so inspiring and run such a tight ship with the babies its all so organized and amazing it makes everyone feel like they are at home.

Anyways sorry for such a dry post, so tired... pictures will be in the next one if I find my charger lol!

I'll See Ya,
A.S. <333

Fadhili Trust

Image
This week we have been spending our time at this organization called Fadhili Trust. This is an amazing organization which helps local communities and people who are in tough situations. They help people through village savings and loan associations ( type of micro-finance). They do this to help people create business and increase income. Our first day with them we had an introduction of the organization and then we visited a small private school. The visit was super fun because they stopped all the classes to meet us. Everyone was so welcoming and we were given the honour to talk with the students in their classes which was really cool because they had so many good questions about Canada.  After the school visit we went and had 2 home visits of 2 of the  beneficiaries of  Fadhili. The stories of the people we have met have been very emotional. The one lady we met lives by herself because Fadhili is supporting her kids to go to boarding school which takes a burden off her ...

Off To The Airport

I cannot believe the trip is over... It went by so fast, yesterday literally feels like we just arrived in Kenya. But I guess time flies when you are having fun. Today is a very emotional day because I do not want to go home and have to say good by to Kenya :( Words cannot describe how much this trip has met to me it is by far the best experience of my life so far. I am so grateful to God to have been able to go on this trip and for my parents allowing me to go, it has been such an amazing time.  I am going home having learned so much and coming back with a new lens to look at life through.  I am going to miss all the people I met and all the memories I made, my mental scrapbook is very full of memories and my heart is filled with many new special relationships.  This trip has been my breath of fresh air after a very tough year. I struggled with a lot this year and everyday felt challenging so to come to Kenya and to feel so much positive energy from the culture and peopl...

Back At It

My goodness it has been awhile... I have not done a blog post since October... But my life has not been that exciting to write more blog posts lol. Anyways I am back and I hope to blog more! I want to strengthen my writing and express it on this blog.  I want to write about things going on in my life, adventures I go on, lists, future goals, advice and most importantly poetry. First I want to use this blog as a way to publish my poetry. Over the past few months I have been in a class called writers craft and it is given me the opportunity to write in many different styles and from this class I fell in love with poetry. Poetry is such beautiful way to express and to share how you feel. Poetry is an escape, a way to put words to feelings, a beautiful portrait of art. Poetry is a lifeline to me now and I cannot wait to show it here.  Although it will be nerve wracking to put my thoughts out in the open to others... art is art and it cannot be judged. Secondly: It's the s...
