Life in Kenya

I've been in Kenya for over two weeks now. So far training is going well, I've switched languages (from Swahili to Luhya) but other than that there haven't been too many unexpected changes. Luhya isn't a written language so studying is a bit hard but our language instructor is really good so it seems like learning enough to get by is possible. I plan on learning more Swahili once I get to my site because it should be useful when I travel outside of my region. I am going to be posted in the Western province, working with a group to empower women and girls. I'm excited about the work because of it's similarities to Women's Global. Loitokitok is dusty but very pretty, I see Mount Kilimanjaro every day when I walk to class, there's snow on top at the moment. My host family has been very welcoming, I have become good friends with my Mama. I have also had a lot of fun playing sports with my brother and sister. My baby sister is less scared of me now, I think within a week she will be willing to play games too. I hope to update again soon, sorry this is so short, the internet is a bit slower than I am used to.
