who i spend my time with these days.

bike ride safari.

meandering through the gorges at hell's gate.

much closer to hippos than is advisable.

this is a little video my friend lauren made showcasing our weekend excursion to hell's gate national park. some of the backdrops for the lion king were drawn from this landscape. in honor of that, the video has been set to a remix of the movie's theme featuring lil wayne. no joke.

we just planted this area. it's maybe a quarter acre all told. and we're expanding!

soon our little baby veggies will be reaching towards the sunshine.

we plow our fields by hand damnit. and we like it!?

this small scale farming endeavor is my main priority at tumaini right now.

the sooner we are harvesting vegetables the sooner we'll be able to spend less money when feeding the kids and put those shillings towards other needs. sustainability in action.

michelle sometimes refers to me as her mzungu (white person). her dad is our program coordinator and his rapport with the street boys is what brings them to tumaini.
