After an hour we landed in Amsterdam Airport whilst the team relaxed in the airport as they waited for the flight to Nairobi Airport and did every touristic thing possible within the bounds of the airport of course.

Ubzz making sure every member of the team was on time for the second flight

After a short wait and no running to the flight this time around we were air bound again time for the longer flight to Nairobi international airport, up up and away we go for the second time.

           The team was met at around 8:25am Saturday the 8^th of June other members of the team at Nairobi Airport. A quick bus ride to the capital and we had our first meal and meet and greet with the key person we will be working with over the next two weeks. It became very evident that we were definitely not in Leeds any more…

       After the short exposure to Nairobi we only had a four hour long drive up to Meru’s Thiiri Cultural community Centre where the team will be based for the next two weeks.  

While Ubzzzzz  snoozed in the back we continued our drive up

We had never seen so many donkeys roam the streets so freely

 We Finally arrived at out home for the next two weeks....

The following was extracted from one of the Diaries of a Missionary in Kenya in the journey Up to Meru.  

“I wonder what the kids are like in the village, what do they dream to become in the future? Whilst Kenya is known for its natural resources from Soda Ash, Oil (Recently discovered) , Iron Ore, CORN  (in abundance), Garnet and even the exportation of flowers… 

I noticed uncountable schools likewise churches all these were probably put in place to improve the quality of life… 

I am glad I came to see this part of the world; I will be able to see how I can make a difference and how I can be the difference. Been used to my Nigerian culture I will be able to see the difference culture from Nigeria: UK: Kenya I will get a feel of the method and their cultural relations, not just what I see on the television rather a first-hand experience."

See you later, Love from
