Kyle's Kenya experience, Day 1!
Tue 18th October - 6.30pm by Kyle Burtenshaw
The one thing that I have been thinking to myelf since we have arrived in Kenya is, "I can't believe this is happening!" Still at this moment, the first night into being here in Kenya, it seems liek it's a dream. I'm so happy to finally of made it to Kenya after months of anticipation and excitement. Already in the first day, I have had an absolutely amazing time! When we arrived at the hotle after the long 9 hour flight, we got to have a quick look around the amazing, dream like hotel that we are staying in at the moment. It has a couple of amazing swimming pools and to top it all off. there is an amazing view of the beach from there. A couple of hours after staying at the hotel, we got to go to thye school and get the opportunity to meet staff and students. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience of meeting so many wonderful people today that I look forward to f\getting to know even more over the next two weeks! To top things off, I was given a picture of myself drawn very well by one of the students. It was very touching to have a gift like that on the first day of meeting them, even though i personally didn't know the boy too well yet. I also got the opportunity to meet the headboy of the school and find out his role within the school as well as sharing my role in st.Andrews as the headboy there.That too was a good experience and has got me excited about talking to the students in more detail over the next 2 weeks. We finished off the day by being given a tour around the school, treated to some wonderful songs from each class and take a look at the students and teachers in action. We finished off the day by having a nice meal at the hotel which was of an Indian theme and now writing this blog to inform my mummy and daddy oiff what i'm doing and assure them i'm doing OK ;)
