The rainy season started in Kenya during our stay, and it was raining heavily on Mar 1, when we held the activity at Rusinga School. We had fun with twelve students who were much taller than I, regardless of the delayed arrival of the facilitators who were caught in the traffic jam caused by the flooded roads.

Pangaea activities were the first experience for the children, but they became totally comfortable with each other after the friend-introduction, and one of the girls thanked me for coming to their school. Children looked at the houses drawn in foreign countries, listened to the owner's names and mimicked their pronunciations.

Children's smiles are the best in every country. They truly enjoy our activities.

We are finally visiting the candidate site at the slam tomorrow. We were advised to not to take our PC's with us for the safety on the way. There are twelve PC's with dial-up connections there. We made an appointment with the largest provider here on Thursday, so we will see if they will be able to donate the faster facility.

I am starting to miss Japan. I would like to show the homes drawn during this trip to the Japanese children. It would be really nice if Pangaea children continue to increase and some of they become close friends. (Yumi)
