Leaving today!





We can't believe it's already time to go! We had our last day in the clinic yesterday. It was really sad to go, everyone in the clinic has been so amazing. We had a really great last day there and we hope to keep in touch with the people we worked with. We spent our last day visiting an orphanage nearby and going one last time to the local market. It was nice getting to see what an orphanage was like here. It was great to see how happy all the kids were. The girls at our volunteer house that go there everyday brought friendship bracelets to make and colouring books to play with. You could see how much all the kids loved it, so it was really fun getting to play with them for awhile. Its funny to see how much the kids love getting their picture taken. They all rush over to see what the picture looked like after and try to take your camera to take more pictures, it was really cute. We then went one last time to the market in town to buy a few last minute gifts. The market consists of tiny wooden cubicles with most people having a lot of the same things all yelling at you to come see theirs. They all offer you a 'special price'. They offered us a 'great deal' because we were canadian!


Overall this whole trip was so amazing and we will never forget it! Thanks again to everyone who helped us get here!

  1. Hi,
    It was really interesting reading about your experiences in Kenya. Me and my friend are planning to volunteer in Tanzania as nurses in january-april. We are planning to go with Advance Africa. Have not heard so much about them though, have you been in contact with Joe Ngugi? Would you recommend this organization?
