Hi parents, friends and loved ones of our participants,
Brett here, the co-leader of the trip. We’re about
two-thirds of the way through our trip, and thought I would post a short blog
to give you my perspective of how things are going along. Right now about one-third
of our group is on a ridge hike with one of our local partners, another third
are on a game drive with our driver, and a few are attending a local church
service. Admittedly, I saw the opportunity for a few hours of down time and
took it!
The group is doing great. It’s a very high functioning collection
of individuals who generally put the needs of the group before their own needs,
and when you have that going on, it makes the role of myself and my co-leader
(Karina) pretty darn easy. My main
responsibilities seem to be focused narrowly on making sure we have enough
fresh pineapple and mangoes, and to ration our remaining few jars of peanut
butter. The group is doing a fantastic job at watching out for the well-being
and emotional needs of each other, leaving Karina and I to just keep an eye on
that aspect of things.
So, all is well here in Samburu. I understand there’s a lot of snow in the
mountains and some of us are a little jealous about that. But, we’re living a
good life here during our time in Samburu!
It's been tough to upload photos; our interent connection comes from the cellular network via a small device that I plug into my laptop, similar to a flash drive. The bandwidth is pretty low. We keep trying to upload a few photos but it's been tough. We'll keep trying though!
Brett
