This week I have been very busy (catching up) going to 5 women groups! On Monday, Andrea had to leave. Luckily she is only about 2 hours from me. On Tuesday I went to 2 groups, Wednesday I went to 1 group, and yesterday I went to 2. Yesterdays groups were in Kipkaren, which is where Anastasia's family lives, so her mom prepared lunch for us! It was so nice to finally see where she lives. I also got to meet 4 for her 8 brothers and sisters. Yep there's 9 children total! The oldest is my age, and the youngest is almost 2. Talk about a large family! There was a lot of traveling yesterday so today we decided to stay home and work.
Anastasia came over to work on kiswahili with me. Before she arrived, a farm worker on my farm told her that he had found many opened condoms and empty glass alcohol bottles in the trash burn pile! He asked her "why does Ann (me) need so many condoms and drink so much alcohol!?" She defended my honor. When Anastasia told me what happened, I could barely control my laughter! First of all: the farm workers are not aware that I do condom demonstrations for the women's groups, second of all: I have not thrown the ones used for demonstrations, away so I can keep count, therefore there are no opened condoms coming from my trash can, and third of all: I purposely buy boxed wine, so I don't have to worry about getting rid of the glass bottles! When I confronted the worker that said this, I asked to see the condoms and bottles. He replied that he had already burned them. Well it seems to me that they are either trying to black mail me, or someone else on the farm doesn't want to admit that they're there's. All I can say...... at least they're using a condom! hahah This little incident made my day!
After kiswahili, we had lunch at mama Eusila's hoteli, then I came home and gave Kibaibai a bath. Boy did he need it! I guess I will just have to deal with the stink eye he is giving me, for the rest of the evening.
