Meeting up again

It’s Thursday 6:30p.m. local time. While Lesley, Rebekah, Emma and me have enjoyed the Maasai Mara to the full, Iona and Storm have been hard at work. They spent one and a half days at The Kibera Girls Soccer Academy and an afternoon with the standard 8 class at Peter Kibukusya Primary School. This is the same as our year 9. This is where the SCI Umoja Soccer Academy takes place. I say hard at work, but Iona assures me that they loved every minute of it. The pupils are full of enquiry about everything and anything to do with the UK.

Our return trip took about 8 hours. The roads are under major repair, but it looks like it will take years to complete this. In the meantime you can get your spine rearranged in a day. But it was well worth the journey. The safaris in the game reserve gave us wonderful views and we saw many animals.

Tomorrow we have a meeting with the Kenyan Sports Commissioner to talk about SCI’s future ideas. We first met him 2 years ago. However, he is a busy man and we have to meet up at 08:30. To do this we must leave the hotel by 06:15. After some shopping for souvenirs we will have a trustees meeting before flying home at midnight on Friday.
