Gilgol

This afternoon was my 2nd class at Gilgol High School. It's supposed to be Geography but somehow it has turned into a Geology class. I wasn't as nervous today, but Im still getting used to it

After my class we had a great discussion time. They asked about all kinds of things including Kenyan Economics and politics and we actually got onto the subject of AIDS/HIV...
I talk about this everyday with one of my jobs back home and it was so surreal to be standing in a classroom in the middle of Kenya talking and listening to a discussion about this same subject, but it's actually affecting THESE people.

After that it was time for Chris to teach PE...






I taught some of the kids how to catch and throw a baseball...I was surprised by how none of them knew how to...Again, another assumption on my part

This is Caleb, Allison and Chris love to torture this kid,but in their defense, he makes it waaayy to fun not to...
