Friday

Well, I was sick for a day and now I'm well. It's a bacterial thing that a whole bunch of westerners get. I'm sooooo happy to be well. Today once again I went to Sally Test. I'm really getting to know the staff as well as the children. What fun. Today the kids had enough nerve to ask to feel my hair. I got such a kick out of that so my hair was patted many times. This afternoon we played with a parachute. Lots of screams and giggles and things that all American children would do. Just before we left ST another abandond baby came in found at a clinic. The people at the clinic gave the child the name of Obama. A few days ago a group from Indy arrived. Merta Pullilam and folks from the Ruth Lilly Foundation...Tonight will be what I might call the Billion Dollar dinner with Joe and SEM and three other folks from I U. The dean being one. And...I'm invited along. Wow...This will be VERY interesting to say the least. Three of the dinners are I U folks who have been here often and they are quite resonable folks. The money ladies...I'm not sure. Today I made the biggest mess ever. I knocked over a Pan of Chi Tea that was prepared for the children in the Sally Test room. What a mess. Lucky for me, the children had had their chi, some was in thermoses for a noon meeting and so this was the left overs. Well, I couldn't deny doing because everyone saw it. I got Ernest and it was easy to admit it and two wonderful ladies cleaned the whole mess up. So...I have little gifts for them that I will give them tomorrow. What a goof. Tomorrow is another day. The rains have not come yet and Kenya is dry in Eldoret. We have hope.
