Sad Goodbye to Bondo

Hey baddies! It’s your gorls R²(Robyn and Rosie) coming at you from the foreign land of Bondo. We know you have been waiting for our iconic blog post, so here it is!

We woke up at 7:30 for some tea, eggs and wieners, which is a very classic breakfast in Africa. Then we left on the swaggin’ wagon (aka bus) for a hype bus ride. We skirted into the school at 10-ish and then got to work. Most of us were just slopping wet sand on bricks but Nik and Kathryn were the only ones doing work and lifting bricks. After the brutal labour, the school held a closing ceremony for us, and we gave our favourite children’s books to the future library we helped to build, along with some Kenyan books. Then we visited Lake Victoria and saw some naked men swimming. After that, we drove back to our hotel. On the way back, we belted classic songs like “Country Roads” and “Riptide”. The sunset was so so pretty that night and after we arrived, we scurried to the pool and had a blast.

Next we headed to dinner where pineapple was a must, the chili fries were poppin’ and so were our cankers.  We finished off the day with a squad meeting where many laughs were shared. We reflected on the impact that the young children had made on us and man, will we remember this specific experience forever. 

Anyway, we gotta go to dinner now. We are a little late for this blog deadline, Whoops – sorry, David, but we have just been having so much fun.

Peace out, twiga!
