Giving up a latte (or two).
I wanted to take the time to update the faithful supporters of Ameena Project, and also those of you new to our work. Megan Steele, one of the Ameena Project co-founders has finished with her visit of the school project in Kiang’ombe, and is on her way home from Burundi, where she was on a [...]
Dubai!
In our hunt to find the cheapest yet safest flight home from Kenya we happened upon a stay over in Dubai. We as in Erika Lee mentioned it, it sounded like a fabulous idea that saved thousands even with a 2 night hotel stay over, we booked it! I didn’t know much about Dubai except [...]
Farewell continued
A farewell at the Centre usually means a tea party planned by the staff. In the past this involved light food: boiled eggs, biscuits, queen cakes and chai. Ian and I decided about a month before leaving that we would like to throw the staff and residents a nice lunch for our farewell….with good food…..so [...]
I am not lost
Habari ya siku mingi! Do you remember me posting in the past of the Kenyan saying, “You’ve been lost” when you haven’t visited someone for a long time? Well, I know that I haven’t visited my blog much in the last few weeks, but rest assured, I am not lost from it. Life has been [...]

Indian Ocean here we come!
Part 2 of our family vacation was a 5 night trip to the beach. We used a missionary specific travel agent in planning our trip and got a pretty good deal on an all-inclusive family resort (I’ve never been to an all-inclusive before). The morning after returning from our safari we set out early for [...]
And the ‘fari continues….
So we did this all more than a week ago, but it is Africa, and we were t.v. and computer free for essentially 2 weeks. It was a nice break…..learning to just be still and smelling the dampened earth, exhaust free air, plumeria on the warm evening air. I could go on and on. Have I [...]

We’re going on a “fari” to see Dinosaurs!
Or at least that was Lucy’s version of our trip. Since arriving in Kenya in May, the extent of our exploring has been limited to day trips within driving distance of Nairobi. We have been looking forward to Ian’s parents visit because it means we have a wonderful reason to take some time off from [...]
