Quick Update

Day 5 and this is our first post - sorry, we've been pretty busy

We've played two football matches, painted a school, spent a couple of days in the slums, sung in church to more than 500 people, eaten lots of jepatis, cleared a road of rubbish, lost the memory stick containing the first couple of proper blog posts, learnt some Swahili and been in lots of memorable matatus (taxi).

We will post more soon, as soon as we can find the memory stick and a more convenient internet connection.

Tomorrow we are doing some more clear up work in the local area and having a well earned rest - pretty tired after all the manual labour and equatorial football. Then on Friday we are travelling to somewhere I have trouble pronouncing let alone spelling but its where Kevin's Dad Duncan is from. I think we might be playing another football team there. Then off to the Masai Mara next week from some safari-ing

Otherwise all is well, weather is good - supposedly Kenya's coldest months but its definitely late 20s C but fortunately its a dry heat.

Oh and if you want to know the scores they were both 3-2... to the opposition. We are improving though and we've played well both times - just struggling with the lack of substitutes as the opposition wheel out their entire village, the pitches (not used to having to dodge boulders and goats), the heat, high altitude, and a general lack of fitness on our part.

That'll do for now - more soon
