What else to do on a Sunday morning but experience the Kenyan Gospel Church! A group of us set off at about 10am to walk through the tea plantations to get to the church, it was a really hot morning but we had to be smartly dressed so it was roasting walking with jeans and a long top on! The singing was amazing, very loud and catchy, my hands were sore from clapping after an hour! The service was from 10.30am till 12.30pm, the first hour was just singing - most...

Well what can I say about today..?! I woke feeling bit worse than yesterday, had a cough since the weekend but seem to be coming down with a bit of the cold now :( and felt really sick. Never the less, I was still fine :) It was a community project day, and the morning was spent at the feeding programme! Really can't believe it's two weeks since we last went to help hand out food supplies to the same 400 elderly/sick people. This programme really does make ...
