Jamila the youngest tiniest of the 30 girls taken in at only 2mths old.
She cries all the time especially when she sees muzungos!
The childrens home at sunset... Fertile or just blessed by God for all the good work that happens there... The coconut trees in abundance and man are the coconuts yummmmy!

Start to my typical orphanage day... 7am cow milking with Joshua. No cement,no machine, no stool but worse of all no gumboots!!
There are 6 cows and the two produce enough milk for all the girls daily. They only have milk in their chai (huge Indian/aribic population and influence in Mombasa). No other dairy yet most grow so tall... How do their bones grow with only about 1/2 cup milk per day as their total dairy/calcium intake????
Mind boggles but I'm just glad they do grow!
Dinner time/home work time. It is so different here even in 'normal' families the chldren are a lot less supported and pampered and a LOT more is expected of them. I just can't switch to that and treat the girls like they would be treated in Oz. Like children, no responsibility or work... Which one is good which one is bad or ar they just different??
Slender, strong, beautiful colourfully wrapped Masai men wander the city and beaches most of them authentic and they truly are beautiful, elegant and regal!
