Kenya

I got back from Mombasa, Kenya about a month ago. In Kenya I was volunteering with Global Vision International helping teach English to Standard 5. I also assisted in running Physical Education classes to all Standards!

The picture above is me with Standard 5. I coached Olives Rehabilitation Center to a strong 6-1 victory over their rival school Precious Vision Care Center. This is our huddle before the football match the kids were praying in Swahili that they would play their best.


Me with one of my favorite students at Precious, Tom. Playing a little bit of football on the beach just after swimming a little in the Indian Ocean at Nyali International Beach.


One of the most cheerful and enthusiastic little girls I have ever met. The first day I walked into Precious she jumped into my arms and literally didn't let go. She never stopped smiling her perfect white teeth very cool feeling to have that I personally brought so much joy to an orphaned child! As I was leaving for the day she cried it was one of the most heartbreaking moments of Kenya. 
Walking a few of the kids home from Precious on one of my last days in Kenya! Such an awesome experience.
