RIFT VALLEY ACADEMY

Today was a whirl wind of school! Heather had me and Deb attend all of her classes so she could introduce us to her students as well as all the staff during their staff meeting/Chai time. I must say that I'm not a fan of Chai, but meeting the staff was fun!

I found that Deb's camera cord works for my camera so we are back in business with the self portraits... ha ha ha:
The campus of RVA is incredibly beautiful. There is a grand view of the Great Rift Valley and Mount Longonot. The sun was out for most of the afternoon but the morning and evening were quite cool and I had to even wear a sweater... which I didn't think I would have to do! I watched a rugby practice with Heather and 2 of her students after school and I did 1 and a half Bethany presentations in 2 of Heathers' classes. The 1/2 one was just an informal one but I still did show the Bethany video and talk about the school quite a bit, so maybe it would count as a full one too!
The wierd thing about this place is that the wind gets more fierce during the evening. I'm used to the wind dying down after the sun sets, but here it just blows harder and harder. I heard that Kijabe (the town near RVA) means "Place of the Wind".

Here are some pictures:

This was the first view I had of the Great Rift Valley on our drive there yesterday morning.

The soccer/rugby field and the Valley behind. This is just across the road from Heather's house.

This is Heather's cute little house. It is actually a little bit bigger as it has an upstairs to the left that goes above another suite.
