Donations for the Garissa victims

Middle school is having an activity to donate food and money for the students who were wounded in the al shabab attack in Garissa last week. I'm going to buy rice, flour, sugar, oil and tea and some other foodstuff to donate. They also need clothes so hopefully I can go through my closet and find some things for them.

Backstage at "One man two guvnors"

Tomorrow we start with the rehearsals for the High School show "One man two guvnors". I'm going to work backstage and did not even go to the tryouts for the cast. I'm happy that I got a chance to work back stage, because I really like it.
My brother saw the show when he went on his Theatre trip to London in grade 12, and really enjoyed it. He said that was the funniest they went to. They also had a work shop with the actor who fell all the time and they learned a lot from him. I'm looking forward to working back stage and watch the rehearsals. Tomorrow will be the first day and we will keep going until 7 o'clock.

Money to Destiny

I got a message from Dixon, who asked me for 45 000 kes to buy more desks and chairs. I also gave him some money for book shelves. It is interesting that the Department of Education, promised him some books for the school because the students performed som well on the exams. Because he didn't have book shelves, they were reluctant to give him the books. Im glad we could help him and pay for the bookshelves so they would get the books.

Training with a fractured arm

After my snowboarding experience in Samoens it is a bit challenging to get the training done! I have tried to just do kicks and punches in MMA. No jabs! I'm afraid of what my arm will look like when the cast is gone. I also do a lot of bicycling in the gym and hopefully that will help me. Next week I'm going to Colombo in Sri Lanka for a week, so then there will be no training. After that we will go to the doctor and ask them if I'm ready to remove the cast. I really think I am!

The fringe

I really enjoyed the Fringe festival. I got to see almost every play and I'm so impressed by the work the IB students did. I remember when my brother did his play in the Fringe and the whole family was involved. It is really hard work, but they pulled it off so well!

Adding buttons to the pads

We finally got all the buttons we ordered. We ordered to a friend in England who came to visit as well as to a hotel in Washington, DC where my dad was staying. It was great to get them.... but applying buttons to 400 pads took a while! Now we just have to add the Okapi logo tags to the bags and then we are done!

Middle school play "Annie"

The middle school play, Annie was really good. I was so impress with both the acting and singing! The middle schoolers really put on a good show and I doubt that High school is even going to try to set up a musical.
