This blog is weekly updated for my Community, Action and Service activities in the International School of Kenya. It's about my involvement with the school in the slums, the orphanage, my tae kwondo training, the Swedish community in Kenya and a lot more. Each posted event is very descriptive while also containing reflections by me. Enjoy reading it!

Boxing day in the Nest
Klara, feeding and playing with the kids.
I brought my Swedish guests with me to the Nest for dinner time. The staff were happy to see us and appreciated the help with feeding all the babies. I was surprised to see a lot of new, small babies and even more surprised that some of the older ones moved to the orphanage in Limuru. Both Isac and Maggie were not there anymore, so I have to rethink my photo project. Maybe I'll make a more "generic" photobook, and give it to any baby when the timing is right. I'm sure I'll have plenty of photos on most of them at the end of the next semester.
It was great to bring friends to the Nest! They asked me a lot of questions, and it struck me that sometimes you need to get the input from fresh eyes. They are not used to helping out on an orphanage and were very happy for the experience and maybe I'm getting too used to the situation.... Them asking questions really made me think and reflect on my own experiences.
