Jambo! (Hello!) I've settled into life in Kenya now, so thought it was time to write again.... On my second day here, I attended a presentation on parenting with Paul who is the Director of Unity college in Nairobi. The presentation was to over 100 parents, to give them guidance on parenting, particularly since drink and drugs amongst the youth is a big problem here. I only had to take the microphone for a few minutes, but I was still nervous! I then spent 10 ...

Goodbye Goa, Hello Himalayas!We’ve now left behind the sunny beaches of Goa & returned to congested and cold(er) Delhi. Boo! However, it’s not all bad, since we are off up north in 2 days to visit Dharmasala, Manali and Simla near the Himalayas, which I’m really looking forward to – except for having to dig out my thermal & hat again!Bit of a strange last week in Goa to tell you about. Our last couple of days in Candolim were ace! ...
