Day Three – Meeting some Nairobi Homeschoolers

Today was fairly relaxed. In the morning, I traveled to an apartment in the city to meet with a group of Christian homeschool parents and teens. They asked me many questions about homeschooling, conditions in the U.S., music, and my faith.  This particular group (not representative of all home school families in Kenya) is very diligent about the study of Hebrew, believing that reading the Scriptures in the original language will give them a better understandingof the Word, and a stronger walk with the Lord. In the course of the conversation, we discovered many similar areas of thinking, although they didn’t seem much interested in hearing about teaching writing. I did, however, leave some DVDs with them, so maybe there will be interest in the future.  This was a getting-to-know you meeting. The fledgling Kenya homeschool association would be very happy for your support, and you can do so by purchasing anything from this Avon-linked website: http://www.hslda.org/hs/international/Kenya/200811130.asp

Evening found us at a very popular authentic Ethiopian restaurant; we ate outside in the dark near a fire pit.  The ambience and conversation were great; he food was fantastic—even the roasted goat meat.  I ate to complete satisfaction.
