After much consideration we have decided to travel to Kenya for the upcoming meeting. We received our exit/re-entry visas quickly... and while we were hoping to get "multiple" exit/re-entry visas (saving us $$ later on), it apparently just wasn't possible at this time. We'll be heading out in mid-February for a week in the Nairobi area. We're excited to meet with friends and see another type of African culture.
Soccer: The NVA crocs push on despite some set-backs... The Under 11 girls tied their last game and will try again against the same team this next week. We unfortunately lost our fabulous goalie and are frantically trying to train up someone! The Under 11 boys put up a valiant fight this past week, but couldn't hold on, losing 0-1. They have 3 more tries to turn things around. On a positive note- a player's mother went to the local suuq to track down some matching shorts and socks, transforming our little ragamuffins into a genuine futbol censacao! (soccer sensation!)
In general though, we are re-ajusting well, and everything looks a bit sunnier after our break. Our plans for the summer and fall are still uncertain, wavering between studying language in another country to continuing to teach at NVA to heading out East... We'll keep you all posted!
Photos: Once a week I head over to our pre-school to read stories to our 4-6 year olds; a few speak english and as I read they yell out words they understand... "fishy!"... "lion!"... The Under 11 boys last soccer match- check out those classy uniforms!
