Woodshop photos

A friendly member of the Peace Corps Kenya staff visited me from Nairobi and sat in on one of my classes last week and took photos.  Here are a couple for you to enjoy:

Me and all seven vocational school students (we’re signing our names for the camera):

See my nose and hand in action!  This was a picture/word matching exercise using the vocab they started picking up a couple days prior on the computer.

Loitokitok Photos

As much as you love my lengthy prose, I figure I owe you a few photos with simple captions.  Also, I’m avoiding having to study for tomorrow’s exam, so reviewing photos seemed really appealing.  So without further ado…

This is where I sit at home in the evening and respond to blog comments on my phone.  I took this photo today.  There is always hot milk for me in that thermos.

This is a very accurate drawing of me.  I received this during the Secret Santa gift exchange.

And here is the gift I gave to my Secret Santa.  Businesses and homes in Loitokitok usually have at least one positive-message baby sign.

This is my homestay brother.  He is five years old and he is holding the electric Christmas Tree that I received in a care package on Christmas Eve (great timing!).  This picture was taken in the kitchen.  In the background: my homestay sister and auntie (the house helper).

On the left is the front gate of my home.  In the distance is Mount Kilimanjaro.

And here are all the Deaf Education trainees. The guy on the bottom right is always asking too many questions in class.
