Day Six

I realize now that all of these posts will likely be sent at the same
time, when I return. Next time I'll invest in a prepaid cellular
modem and bring my laptop. All of those stories you here about the
world being smaller don't apply here, the Internet is very hard to find.

Uriri is in the sugar cane growing region of Kenya. Fir that reason,
the orphanage has invested in a sugar cane crusher to refine the cane
into a dark brown sugar. I'm going to try to bring a block back with
me if customs will allow it. They use the crusher to raise money to
support the orphanage.

The people here are very industrious. They have cows, pigs, rabitts,
chickens, and training in sewing and woodworking. They are serious
about improving the lives of their kids for good. 60 orphans, a well
run operation makes for happy kids, and that's what we saw.

John, Bobbie, Brent, and Jim as well as Risper and the Mbuvis left us
today. We'll continue on to see the last two orphanages with Thomas
and our driver. More tomorrow.
