Maasailand here i come

So yesterday we got to pick our placements and i am going to a place called Saikeri it is deep in the maasai land , i will be living with a Maasai family and teaching at a school that is about an hours walk from where i will be living. I am the only volunteer going and it is a new placment so they have never had volunteers out there, and i don't know if any of them has ever left so i may be one of the first white person some of them have seen.
I am really excited, i am hoping to get into Nairobi on the weekend to e-mail but feel free to call me untill then. I am going on a four day safari through the maasai mara national park, ooo and today i got to pet a cheetah!!!!!! very cool, any way love to you all and i hope to write soon. By the way mum i have been told it is the safest place in Kenya as there are no people out there but i have to watch out for the monkeys and apparantly the girraffes are everywhere

Hi Sweetie, finaly reset my password (to the usual one tee hee!!) so now I can write to you.. I spoke with your mum 2nite and she told me u were not happy and are trying to change your placement... hope that it works out.. I got a bad feeling when we were chatting on friday.. I knew you were trying to be positive abt the situation, but it's not worth it. U are there 2 help, but you don't have 2 sacrifice everything, u have to be happy aswell.. miss u lots and love u more... hugs from jen xxx

Hi my LBG,
It seems that your start has been interesting. It was great to hear from you via txt also to talk to you as well. Reading between the lines on 1or2 comments it sounds that your not happy, hopefuly that has changed now. All this would have been worth it good and bad by getting back in 1 piece. Thinking of you everyday my LBG, will see you soonish. Lots of LOVE DAD XXX
