Things will really happen tomorrow!
I am just going to post a short entry to this site today...feeling kind of up and down today. Lonely isn't really the right word, but it's something like that....strange to be lonely when surrounded by a few million people...
I am looking forward to tomorrow, we meet the group and our coordinator and begin our training. Then I think I'll feel like I know what I'm doing a little more.
And, I can't say enough how cool the giraffes were yesterday. It was incredible to touch them and feed them. They are so soft, sort of like a horse's head, but softer I think....
Take care!

**HI!**
good luck with your training!

For those of you checking out Joelfre's blog, I thought I would let you know that I just talked to him! It was great hearing his voice. He sounds really well. He made it to the farm/orphanage outside of Machakos Town. There are about 16 children who live there full time and up to 50 more who come there on the weekends. Joelf's not really sure where those 50 go when they are not at the orphanage. The farm has banana trees and he said the food is really good. In Kenya, they treat guests like kings and the director of the farm has done just that for Joelfre. I'm sure he will tell you more about it when he journals next, but he doesn't know when that will be. Anyway, I just thought you'd want to know that he sounds really good and says that Kenya is beautiful!
thanks, anon, for the joelf update!
