We're back in Nairobi

Hi everyone. So our work in Orongo has wrapped up. Our slow sand filter was completed and Peter Odanga, whose house we left it at knows how to use it from here on out and is excited to spread this technology if it works well for him. He has even requested that we send him literature about slow sand filters in general!
 
Our agroforestry plot is looking extremely nice, largely in part to the significant manual labor Nick, Buana, and Zach put into it. Everyone on our team did contribute to this and at one point we had every one of us out there singing songs as we worked which was a lot of fun! We got a good taste for how difficult it is to till a plot of rock hard land using sub-par tools. Buana Sam will now be in Tanzania for a couple of weeks working on an agroforestry plot there, but he will return to Orongo after that and begin to plant some trees with the help of the primary kids.
 
Anyway, Zach, Nick, and myself are now in Nairobi and will be going on a safari and then going on a tour of an elephant nursury and a giraffe sanctuary tomorrow. Nate, Anna, and Bebe Sam are finishing up their day in Mombasa now and will be traveling by bus back to Nairobi tomorrow. We'll be meeting them here at the Wildebeest Camp for dinner at a real nice Ethiopian place we found last time we were in Kenya! Then Sunday we begin our journey home with another real long layover in London where we can once again explore.
 
Sorry for the short update, but we are quite tired right now and will be getting up in the wee hours for our first real day off!
