Meeting Ben, Guido, and Innocent

Tonight we met 3 Sudanese students, Ben, Guido and Innocent.  We talked about where they were from, why they moved, what they liked to do, what they first thought when they saw snow... It was an amazing time and we were really blessed by meeting them.  From the left, Wil, Ben, Avery, Innocent, Marikje, Esther, Guido, Mr. Minnesma and Mrs. Boer

Meeting Kellee and Teresa

We met Kellee and Teresa this afternoon. We got to get out of class early. They told us lots of things about Sud Academy, and Nairobi in general. First they showed us where these places were on the map. Then they talked about safety precautions: driving (pedestrians do not have the right of way), how not to get pick pocketed (no backpacks, holding things close to you, zippers on all bags, don't flash valuables, thick enough bags so that they won't be slit open), where we are staying, staying in a group, what we will be doing while we are they, and how to talk to the students. They also gave us books to read to prepare us.
They both told us about personal experiencs. This just made us so much more excited to go!

Ushuring For Senior Drama Production

The Sud Academy trip team helped usher at the Hound of the Baskervilles: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery, a drama put on by the senior drama class. The money from the production went to the Sud Academy. The drama class led by teacher and direct of the drama Mrs. C. Boer did a great job and it was an excellent evening!
