My names heather, im from canada and just got back from volunteering in bagamoyo for 2 months, Kenya for a month after that then went back to bagamoyo for a week because i loved it so much and missed so many people..including kitebo(we still keep in touch)!
Man it was so awsome reading your blog and seeing some more pictures of the kids! I taught at jimmy's school too and believe it or not we were up to about 95 kids with 2 volunteers and still no teacher! it was pretty insane but loved..almost every moment of it! i wanted to take so many of the kids home...actually all of them!
it's was really interesting reading your blog because there were so many things that were so similar to our experience. Here's couple things that i thought may make you happy: hassan moved onto primary school..he finally got the funding for it...we were very happy for him but sad to loose our boucer! Sofia is still as cute as ever! We somehow got jimmy to quick caning the kids..and they would either stand infront of the class or in the office...which we felt was a huge accomplishement...however that has probably gone out the window since we left.
anyways that's enough blabbing...feel free to contact me if you want any more updates. alloyha@hotmail.com
cheers
