Crazy week

Hi Everyone!

This will be short because I am sitting on top of a wet and I'm freezeing. It is 6:40 in the morning and the sun has only come up and I'm pretty sure the lions are close however I wanted to let you all know that I'm safe. We saw 5 leopard since I last posted. Four of them were at night and we saw the fifth yesterday morning. The leopard we saw yesterday was caught in a tree because there was a pride of lions about 10 meters away from her. When we drove the jeep up she took her chance for freedom, jumped down and ran across the river away from us and the lions that would have tried to kill her.

Other than the animal sightings, it has been a busy week at KGS. Graduation is on Saturday so Sandra and I have been working everyday all day to finish the resource room. This is a museum of sorts that the school uses for the students. Right now it is a work in progress but it should be finished by Friday (I'm keeping my fingers crossed). Gabe, a volunteer from South Africa, left on Sunday. While I have only know him for two weeks, when a volunteer leaves it is very sad. However, we have four new volunteers now. They came yesterday. There are two guys and two girls. The two guys are Swiss brothers who are ski instructors, one of the women is from Holland and is only staying a week. The other girl is from Canada and is staying for two weeks. I have only been here two weeks but seeing the new people come in and the surprise on their faces when the lions roar right outside the dinning room is priceless. Like in high school where you are thankful you are no longer a freshman, I'm thankful I'm no longer a new volunteer.

This week is super crazy but I hope to post anoter blog before I leave for the island of Lamu on Monday.

Love to you all.
