Visit to Meru!



On Wednesday, Jan and I headed up to Meru to visit 10 of the secondary girls that are sponsored through Maasai Development Project. We headed out around 5am and drove for a little over 4 hours to the little school out in the middle of nowhere! (The last 25k we bounced up around on a little dirt rode) Meru is in the Eastern Province of Kenya with fantastic views of Mt. Kenya.

The girls were expecting us and we were able to sit down with them and catch up on everything. It had been a long time since we had seen them. They updated their bios, wrote letters to their sponsors and we took pictures of them. Then it was time for the 4 hour drive back home.


It was great seeing them again - they are growing up so very fast. You would be proud of them. I was especially proud of Siapei who seemed to be doing better in school and looked so happy. (Siapei was an 8th grader that gave birth to a little boy that MDP took it - Samwel Saruni who is 2 years old now)
