G-Kenya

I am in Kenya in the North East, staying in a smallish town called Garrisa for one month with my father (haven's seen him in a year prior to this) who is working with G-Youth.

It's a nice hot, dry place (though being rainy season, occasionally it's wet.) The residents are mostly friendly tall Somali's who love to walk. I am back to being "small girl."

There will be a Youth Day (formerly known as a summit) in two weeks. 700 are invited but it's "expected" that only 300 will show up! Everyone is excitedly worried.

In the frenzy we are playing ultimate frisbee (despite a confusing start), strategically planning construction of a volleyball net with tires/ pole/ cement, drinking milk tea, camel milk, fresh lemonade, whilst discussing the projects and aspirations of the younger generation.

We start major shooting tomorrow. Bring it on G.
