friday 30th july
yesterday we traveled to mwegera but when we were half an hour away from the school there was a flat tyre on the car. being in africa people stopped and helped us eventually a car came and took dad and one of the workers but it would be about 1hr and a half before we would be driving again. luckily we were right next to the hot springs and we had planned to go there on the way back so i was wearing my bikini so we went there. once every thing was alright we went to mwegera and there we got another flat tyre so we took out the new spare tyre that we had bought during the whole kaffuffle and switched that with the other tyre. Dad also lost his phone in all the trouble! what a day

I have been making clothes all week on the old singer sewing machine . Today i hope to go to the market to get the ladies co-operative to make me some skirts!
