Many of us were woken early again (about 5.00am), by radios and talking by others staying at the ‘Y’. I got up and continued "Rich Christians…"
We were picked up early by matatu, and spent most of the day ‘sticking’ and ‘mudding’. At lunchtime, Amy tried to phone home for her exam results, but the telephone system in Garsen was out of order. Carolyn and I continued our lunchtime conversations. Yesterday, we had talked about sects and different denominations within Christianity. Today, we spoke about charities, and how to decide which ones to support.
Later, we played football again. After scoring first, I let Ezekiel substitute for me. Garsen sunset.jpg (79306 bytes)The final score was 3-3. There were no animals in sight on the way back to the ‘Y’, but we were joined for dinner by a snake. It was underneath our table, and moved quite quickly over the concrete floor. On seeing it, the whole table stood up, almost in unison, and moved faster than they had done for the whole trip. A member of staff flicked it away with a stick. Only afterwards did we realise it had (probably) been a harmless grass snake.
We had small group discussions on the simple lifestyle after dinner.
