The trip to West Pokot was an awesome trip. We built a playground for the kids and a bridge for the local community honoring the teacher and her daughter that got killed when attacked by an elephant in 2010 . However mostly we had fun. It was a very beautiful but hot place. I was surprised and impressed to see the local women carrying water and climbing a high mountain in extreme heat. They do it every day and we did it once - and it was exhausting! Sweet was pouring from me, and I still find it hard to accept that these women have to do it everyday, it seems so unrealistic. Now we're back in Nairobi and ready to go back to our usual routines (school) and many of my classes have aimed to allow us to reflect on this year's intercultural trips. This journey provided me with immense experience and joy, and I feel proud to have done a trip has benefitted others and I hope to do this same trip again.
