Jambo from Kenya!

Jambo!

It has been a very hectic few days, as expected. After safely landing in Jomo Kenyatta Airport on Wednesday, we were greeted by the Director of the Pontifical Mission Society here in Kenya, Rev. Fr. Celestino Bundi, who was our host for a day. Thursday, we set off towards Ngong, a small suburb south west of Nairobi. We had lunch there and were then left in the hands of Fr. John, the parish priest of Ngong, who took us for a 7 hour drive west of Nairobi towards Kilgoris. We arrived late at night at a missionary compound where a small graduation party was being held for Year 8 students who had just done their national exams. We were greeted with fanfare and even got to participate in a traditional Masai dance!

The next morning we headed towards our final destination, Lolgorien, a small village 280km west of Nairobi, right next to the famous Masai Mara. We are staying in a private missionary compound, complete with a primary and secondary school, kitchen, separate dormitories for girls and boys, and even a small dormitory for the teachers. It is actually more of a small community than a compound.

Our work, for the coming two months, will be based here. We have a lot of exciting news to share with you all, regarding the project that we’ll be undertaking, all thanks to the donations we received from all over Malta and Gozo. Stay tuned!
