Water For Children Africa

The WCA site can be reached by clicking the title of this post. From June 19-July 4, the WCA shared more than just time and effort.





There were many friends we made in Africa: Elliot, the security guard at our first hotel showed me on a map just where the heck I was in the scheme of things. Fred was my escort and sentry when it came to navigating the downtown streets of Nairobi, and Nora befriended me at dinner and agreed to eat Ostrich if I would.

Here is Vickie, the executive director and below, me with some of the teachers of Machakos.






Some of the highlights of our adventure:
* Seeing the Rift Valley and Naivasha Lake; Storks in the city that were bigger than most dogs; crossing the border into Uganda where we thought we might have to stay a while to explain ourselfes; check points on the road where police in uniforms (sometimes with smiles) stopped us to inspect the van; filling out more forms when both leaving or entering any country including Amsterdam and the U.S. (with the same info on our passports), women carrying bananas on their crowns.
