First thing I want to talk about. I just got home from a pretty extended weekend. I stopped in Kakamega to visit my friend Lindsay on the way home. She made me a fresh salad for dinner. Yep a SALAD! That's something we don't get very often around here. She also sent me home with a whole bag of fresh picked salad greens! Since I do not have a refrigerator I had to eat all the lettuces tonight for dinner. I mixed it with some fresh tomatoes, onions, and green peppers. I made a homemade fruit vinaigrette (fruit jam mixed with a red wine vinegar), and topped it off with raisins and soy pieces. Can you say A- MAZING! I actually ate the entire thing, and can't even feel guilty because its a salad. Yum!

So on Friday I traveled to Russinga Island, to meet up with a few other volunteers. We were there to help our friend Izzy with a Girls Health Day. Of course did not go quite as planned, but it was still a success. We taught 100 girls how to make re useable sanitary pads!

It was a lot of work, but definitely worth it. A few other teachings on other health issues, then we ended the day with a dance party. This may or may not have included teaching all the girls the macaraina! 

Going to the island also gave us the excuse to get all together and spend an extra day here:

Yep our little private island. We lucked out with only a 30 minute rain storm, then sunny the rest of the day. It was a great way to end the weekend.

Nothing else is going on this week, just talking to more people about coming to talk at my family health day. Im hoping to get some HIV testing and counseling available as well. 

My family comes in 34 days! whoooooooo! I can not freakin wait!
