Nooa and Cata

By 7:15 am we were gone from the research station. The day had started  with few pieces of bread and a coffee with warm milk as usual. We were heading towards seacal farm. 

About 8 am we reached a massive farm that was covered in seacal. It was private place so Photographing was strictly forbidden, one photo could have lead to 30 000 hours of harvesting seacal. Our director of operation didn’t care about it and took about hundred photos which would have lead to 3 billion hours time to spend with the spiky leafs of seacal.

we left the seacal farm.. we were late.. 

Luckily our crazy buss driver was fast and we arrived to school about at 10.30.

Everyone was staring at us it almost felt like being a celebrity! Surprising and scary at the same time. have they ever met white people before? 

first students of our group and their group introduce our self. then we talked a little with them. After that the teachers of the school came to introduce themselves and told something about their teaching methods.

We devided on 5 sections for every subject. About 6 students from the school came to discuss with us. Our main subject was food but we talked about Finland and Kenya overall. We had great time talking to them. We didn’t know so much about their culture and food but now we are like Kenya experts! 

our group was fun and very kind. it was not a problem if you didn’t know how to say something. We always found our way to explain something. 

About 45 minutes after we talked we had to go to eat.

12.30 

We ate some traditional African food which was beans, meat and rice.

After that we had a little break so we talked with students of the school 

we had so much fun with them and they are so kind! they wanted to carry our backbags with was weird but it was just a mark of honour towards us. 

13.30 

we told the principal and other teachers what we had discussed and learned with the other students. 

Then was our Finland presentations, everyone was stressed out how it will go. 

We had to show it from paper because the powerpont didn’t work... Jaana was our paper holder she was helpful and at the same time got a little shoulder exercise.

Luckily our Finland- presentations went well! 

After our presentations they told us few intresting facts about the history of their school.

15.00 about 

We changed our normal clothes to sport clothes. we played volleyball against Kenyan students. we lost... but we had fun. Jaana was shouting to us and everyone else were laughing to us. 

Our lovely boys had some girl fans cheering to them ;) 

we played one hour then we headed back to our buss. Everyone were tired and dirty after the match but everyone had a great day!

it was interesting day and we had fun! it is good to get to know different kind of people. I think everyone liked the day and we got some new friends!
